• Day 1, I led half way up Iron Horse, took a fall above the fixed pins. The left aider caught my foot and flipped me upside down. It’s pretty steep so that I didn’t hit anything. The aider bruised my foot a little bit, but not serious. However I was not mentally ready to move on so I asked to be lowered. I ended up following the pitch.
  • I then led pitch 1 of City Park, a classic easy aid route. I cleaned it after Liang led after me.
  • Day 2, I wanted to do Iron Horse but it was taken so we ended up doing City Park again. Liang led the first pitch and I led the second. It took us 5 hours in total including sorting gears.
  • Beta for City Park: first pitch is a 70 meter rope pitch. Bring lots of small offset nuts. I used a 0.3 Camalot at one place. There is a crack that can take an M size Metolius SuperCam near the anchor but can be freed easily. The second pitch begins with an old quarter inch bolt followed by an awkward diehedral. The diehedral takes a handful of small brassies and a couple of large stoppers (I used #10 and #11 BD stoppers). I then used #5-#8 of Metolius cams. When the diehedral disappears, there is a bolt on the slab on the right. I did a couple free moves (not hard but very scary) above the bolt to a big ledge. I freed and french freed the rest using one 0.3 Camalot.
