Hidden Valley Campground Intersection Rock South-West Face
	5.6	★ West Chimney	Trad 46m	★★★ Classic	Elgeorgeo
A kinda trickier start, but gives way to some wonderfully frictiony stemming. Good gear throughout. Topped out by going through the tiny cave at the top, pretty interesting manoeuvres. Not too hard, lot of fun.

Echo Rock Area Echo Cove Touch and Go Face
	5.9	★★★ Touch and Go - with Jeff D	Trad 25m	★★★ Classic	Lukas
Another JTree classic, and deservedly so. Feels quite a bit harder than Sail Away 5.8-, the jams are mandatory and the stemming never felt super secure for me -- but I was tired from climbing the day before. There are some absolutely bomber hand jams on this, not to miss! The downclimb is a little involved, rap bolts couldn't hurt here but it's probably heresy to even suggest that...

	5.10a	★★★ Bird Of Fire - with Jeff D	Trad 17m	★★★ Mega Classic	Lukas
Stellar route. I've wanted to do this since looking at it in October 2021, but I am not yet experienced enough to try it on lead. Definitely felt harder than 5c+/6a (converted), more like 6b+ as GrAId says! Fantastic mixture of face climbing and different jamming techniques, as well as an interesting change from slabby to overhung.

One of the better pieces of rock i’ve climbed. Incredible, heady face climbing that is as outrageously good as it is sandbagged. I’ll remember this day out for quite a while.

Second go on top rope. Cedar was on it so i thought I might as well join in as I wasn’t doing anything. Very fun, bouldery, intense crack climbing. A sandbag.

Lovely long slab. We started on the wrong route which made for a spicy traverse back on to the line, and somehow Trin skipped a bolt. Wild.

Fun easy crack climbing to a rad but incredibly reachy move through the roof. Worthwhile.
	5.9 5.9 R	★★ T.S. Special - with Zack	Mixed trad 30m, 1		Will Vidler
Very very R. A fall from the incredibly sandbagged crux move pulling through the roof would be terrible, I was happy to be on second for it. Zack ended up building a belay due to rope drag and I did an unprotected second pitch of friction to the anchors. Tobin Sorensen was a mad man.

First pitch has really fun, easy climbing with a good mix of face and crack. The second pitch is full of large blocks you can easily pull down on your friends and bad pro options. Be careful. The grade is easy but the danger is potentially high.

While a poor lead due to bad gear, this is an excellent and highly enjoyable top-rope, and an anchor at the end of White Lightning sets it up well.
