Sunshine Big Black Face
	5.10a	★★ Lost Ninja	Sport 10	★★ Very Good	David Gibbs
After two false-starts and falls on pulling over the bulge off the slab, I got those moves and then the rest of the climb clean. This was a noticeably harder route than either of the 5.10a we climbed at Sunshine that day (Suffering Succotash, Corn Route).

	5.8	★ Rabbit's Foot	Sport 12m, 5	★ Good	David Gibbs
Seemed the hardest of the three 5.8s on Bunny Wall.
	5.10a	★ Suffering Succutash	Sport 18m, 5	★ Good	David Gibbs
Took one fall at the crux, figured out a sequence, then got it.
	5.8	★★★ Bugs Bunny	Sport 18m, 7	★★ Very Good	David Gibbs
Seemed soft for a 5.8, but fun climbing.
Sat 28th Jul 2018 - Spearfish Canyon

2 falls. Thuggy.
	5.8	★ Preparation H	Sport 4	★ Good	David Gibbs
Took a fall at first bolt; looked around, lowered-off, then lead clean. So, call it a red-point.
	5.6	★★ Soiled Father dove	Sport 5	★★ Very Good	David Gibbs
Only climb that felt spot-on for its grade at the crag. Most of the rest felt hard.
	5.9	★ Walk in the Park	Sport 5	★ Good	David Gibbs

South Seas Sharks Fin
	5.8	★★ Shark Bait	Sport 30m, 13	★★ Very Good	David Gibbs
Took one fall in the crux section, before trying easier beta a bit right of the bolt line, which choice seemed hard, but more consistent with 5.8 climbing than the direct line.
	5.7	★★ Shark's Breath	Sport 30m, 10	★★★ Classic	David Gibbs
Good climbing.
Thu 26th Jul 2018 - Needles
The Cathedral Spires
	5.3	★★ Spire Two, East Face 1 5.3 2	Trad	★★★ Classic	David Gibbs
Linked P1 and P2. Then had to retreat due to incoming thunderstorm -- pouring rain and hail by the time we'd finish rappelling.

Middle Earth
	5.7	★★★ Second Breakfast	Sport 35m, 14	★★★ Classic	David Gibbs
Excellent!
	5.8	★★★ Waste Knot	Sport 40m, 8	★★★ Classic	David Gibbs
A large (dinner plate size, but thicker) foothold broke off just above the first bolt. I fell, then re-climbed, choosing different beta.
	5.8	★★ Morannon	Sport 37m, 10	★★ Very Good	David Gibbs
A small foothold broke in the first move or two, landed on ground & restarted.
