Day 1:

  • Cinnomon slab 5.6 lead. First pitch is really fun although it feels more like 5.7 to me. Second pitch is pretty easy.
  • Spiderman 5.7 lead. No wonder it’s a 4-star route. The lie back is definitely the crux. The roof is not as hard as it looks.

Day 2:

  • Moscow 5.6 lead. A very pleasant route. We did it in 2 pitches with the second being a very long one (about 180 ft). The off width crack about 2/3 through the second pitch is a bit awkward for me. A couple big cams (3-4″) recommended to avoid runout. Communication is a problem especially the second pitch.
  • Rabbit stew 5.7 lead. A fine sustained finger crack with plenty of features for feet on the diehedral.
  • Lycopodophyta 5.7 TR.
