The Trapps The Uberfall
5.6 Wrist - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 70m
P1 mildly terrifying in the vertical crack. Lucky I still had a blue cam. P2 traverse was the hardest thing I've ever done OMG terrifying. Maybe did it wrong?

 
5.7 The Bridal Path - with Kate Pechenkina Trad
Accidentally went left too early on Horseman. A bit scary and didn't extend enough, so much rope drag.

 
5.5 No Picnic - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 24m
Kate did mock lead and I checked placements

 
5.5 No Picnic - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 24m

5.9 Pencel & Johnny's Arete - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Unknown
Too exhausted, gave up after first few moves.

 
5.10a Nutmaster Direct - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Top rope 15m
Attempted direct campus start 5.10a variation. Can heel hook but can't reach the next hold. Maybe fresh?

 
5.8 Nutmaster - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad 15m
Normal 8 variation from the right around the arête clean.

 
5.8 A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Top rope 15m
Again to top out and move rope

 
5.8 A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Top rope 15m
Some tiny holds. Went up left block to get onto wall. Anchor was at Nutmaster though.

 
5.10b Bent Crank Arm — 3 attempts - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad
One hard move over the roof. No great holds, fell and got pulled up. Tried again after a break and still couldn't. Very tired after these attempts.

 
5.8 Off Limits - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad
Fell. Wet crack too slippery.

 
5.7 First Day - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad
Decent. Some moves. TRonsight.

The Trapps Guides' Wall
5.4 ~5.7 Red Pillar - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 60m
Uhhhhhhh. Not very confident in the protection on P1. Good thing it's easy. P2 surprisingly good at the end, hardest thing I climbed today. Started raining at crux.

 
5.7 Middle Earth P1 - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad
Trad 79m
Cool climb, not scared at all

 
Sat 27th Apr 2024 - Shawangunks

5.9 R Mad Politics - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Top rope
Fell once but got to the top. Should have gone right earlier before the overhang.

 
5.11d Final Exam - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
lol fail. can make a few moves in isolation.

 
5.8 Pop Quiz - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
Second time clean to top out

 
5.8 School Chimney - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Top rope
Wacky awkward top part

 
5.8 Dunce's Corner - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
Clean with crack gloves

 
5.8 Dunce's Corner - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
Fell at the crux. Can kind of hand jam at the crux.

 
5.8 Pop Quiz - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
Over middle of bulge is cool move

 
5.8 Pop Quiz - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Trad
Failed at overhang

 
5.8 Summer School - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson, Yulia, Dan Top rope
Some tricky moves

 
Sat 6th Apr 2024 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.4 Belly Roll - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 46m
lol. Belayed from right of two trees on Dennis ledge? Got the two confused on the topo.

 
5.6 Frog's Head - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 52m
A few crux moves. P2 was a bit wet, and I went over the angled overhang instead of through it.

 
Sat 6th Apr 2024 - Shawangunks
The Near Trapps Center Section
5.3 G Yum Yum Yab Yum - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson
1 Trad
2 Trad
Trad 76m Good
Above first tree was wet and slippery, so we bailed (and returned blue Metolius locker to the wild).

 
Sat 16th Mar 2024 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.9 Nice 5.9 Climb - with Paul Trad 21m
Rested once. Could probably have flashed if it weren't so dark and I could see the feet. 😢

 
5.6 The Brat - with Kate Pechenkina, Fran Trad 21m
Led with some pre-placed gear but backed up some of it and added my own. Not as bad as CC Route. Belayed follower from above.

 
5.7 CC Route - with Kate Pechenkina, Fran Trad 18m
Pretty difficult. Wouldn't want to lead yet. We used the big ring for belay and rappel, but don't do that. Go higher and there is spot for gear anchor. Big cam isn't necessary, but is a good idea.

 
5.7 Laurel — 3 attempts - with Kate Pechenkina, Fran Trad 15m
Such a mess. Couldn't do 2nd move. Stupidly thought I didn't need big cams and left them behind. Had belayer send up two C4s on accessory cord so I could finish it.

 
Fri 15th Dec 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps McCarthy Wall
5.3 Beginner's Delight - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Second lead by Kate Pechenkina
2 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright
3 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright
Trad 81m
Cool moves. There is pro on P2 traverse but need small cams for that and for anchor. Bootied a cam.

 
Fri 15th Dec 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.6 Rhododendron - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 24m
Easier than Double Chin

 
5.5 Double Chin - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 43m
Second roof is tricky/scary.

 
Sat 9th Dec 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.5 No Picnic - with Paul, Fran Trad 24m
Started Shit or Go Blind but then finished on this, so "Shit or Go Picnic". In the dark.

 
5.9 R Junior — 3 attempts - with Paul, Fran Trad 15m
Clean after a few attempts. Crimpy holds, especially one side crimp.

 
5.7 Laurel - with Paul, Fran Trad 15m
Tried the first move a few times without a rope, and Fran placed the first cam before bailing, but still counting as a flash. First few moves are very polished slippery glass feet.

 
Sat 9th Dec 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps High Exposure Buttress Area
5.6 Ursula - with Paul, Fran Trad 55m
Some moves but pretty easy

 
Sat 9th Dec 2023 - Shawangunks

The Trapps The Uberfall
5.2 G Easy Overhang P1 - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Second lead by Kate Pechenkina
Trad 39m Very Good
Easy, close to sunset so just P1. Followed & rapped in the dark.

 
5.4 Rusty Trifle - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright
2 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright
3 Second lead by Kate Pechenkina
Trad 76m
Dirty, leaves, cold hands, pretty easy. Rapped off City Lights.

 
5.3 Betty - with Kate Pechenkina

was not on belay 😒

2 Second lead by Kate Pechenkina
Trad 49m
Sun 22nd Oct 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps Shockley's Area
5.4 Ribs P1 - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad

Run out slab

Trad 40m
Just P1 before it got dark. Not sure if on-route. Run out slab. Talked Kate out of leading it.

 
5.7 Gorilla My Dreams - with Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad

Slung a tree in a sort of muddy crack area. There was a tree with a rap ring but I just clipped it and kept going, since Gunks App said to belay from the middle of the wall.

2 Trad

Went off-route left on P2, same as following last time. Route over overhanging blocks was licheny so I thought I was remembering wrong, but it was right. Sad that I didn't do it.

3 Trad

P3 roof is not 5.5; WTF Gunks App? Multiple places with minimal feet, slipped twice, and then not great gear after pulling roof; just stabbing in cams blindly

Trad
Sun 22nd Oct 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.3 Short and Simple - with Kate Pechenkina Trad
Good that we can see and hear each other for a first lead, but not the best places for gear

 
5.2 Cordelette Arete - with Kate Pechenkina Trad 24m
Easy and good enough gear for first lead, but can't hear or see each other, so Kate went off route

Peterskill
5.10b East LA Variation - with Dad, Jasson Top rope
Could only make one or two moves and then no holds. Tried a bunch of times.

 
5.8 East LA - with Dad, Jasson Trad Very Good
Clean! Some weird moves of jamming my arm in a horizontal crack and using it as a lever. Ledge has minimal holds, just a flat surface.

 
Sat 19th Aug 2023 - Shawangunks
Peterskill Khadejha Area
5.3 Jumbled Arete - with Dad, Jasson, Doron, Oleg Trad
Repeat, topping out to move anchor to LA wall

 
5.3 Jumbled Arete - with Dad, Jasson, Doron, Oleg Trad
5.8 Anna's Route - with Dad, Jasson, Doron, Oleg Trad 12m
Clean with some lucky throws

repeat and top out to move anchor to Jumbled Arête

 
5.2 Easy Crack - with Dad, Jasson, Doron Trad
Sat 19th Aug 2023 - Shawangunks
Peterskill
5.7 Night Owl - with Dad, Jasson, Doron Unknown
Hard at the top. Small sparse holds

 
5.7 PJ Party - with Dad, Jasson, Doron Unknown
A bit harder than Slumber Party

 
5.6 Slumber Party - with Dad, Jasson, Doron Trad
Easier than Bunk Arete

 
5.6 Bunk Arete - with Dad, Jasson Trad 11m
Easy up until the vertical face but then I wished I had chalk

 
Fri 19th May 2023 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.5 G Black Fly - with Christian Trad 32m
Pretty easy. Went right up to the tree instead of left as Gunks App shows. Anchor around tree branch was not great; would be bad if it broke. Better to wrap cord multiple times for friction.

 
5.7 Ken's Crack - with Silas, Christian Trad 15m
Difficult but not scary difficult. Silas watching placements. One ugly but solid cam, one mediocre nut.

 
5.4 Bunny - with Silas, Christian Trad 43m
Led with Silas watching. Pretty good, easy. Slung a piton instead of clipping.

 
Sat 6th May 2023 - Shawangunks
The Near Trapps Center Section
5.3 G Yum Yum Yab Yum - with Christian, Kate
1 Second lead by Christian

Linked with P2 to the ledge with the tree

2 Second lead by Christian
3 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright

Very easy, but lots of loose blocks

4 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright

Super sketched out on dihedral to triangle roof, slimy holds, no feet, not many parallel cracks. Did 5.1 variation but it's not 5.1! Traverse is harder than the previous 5.1 pitch. Rapped in the dark because poor judgment.

Trad 76m Good
Sat 6th May 2023 - Shawangunks
The Near Trapps North End
5.6 Grease Gun Groove - with Christian, Kate Trad 35m Classic
P1 only. Very cool. Lots of interesting moves. First move may be the crux, but there are several similar. Hard, but felt confident, never scared.

 
5.6 PG Disneyland - with Christian, Kate Trad 68m Very Good
Climbed third and cleaned. Not too hard. Really great view. Mantled and alpine knee on the first nose part, then pulled a roof above that. Linked pitches.

Peterskill
5.6 Up a Tree - with Christian Trad
Followed Christian's first lead!

 
5.8 Flying Buttman - with Christian Trad
Got to the top but fell a lot. Only crimpy sidepulls available?

 
5.8 Psycho Crack Right - with Sal Trad 19m
Fun! A few actual off-width moves, but most I can reach past and find a good hold.

 
5.9 R Slap Shot - with Yarrow, Kate, Christian, Ken, Sal Top rope
Can't get to top. was trying straight line variation shown here, not the curvy variation called Nobody's Fool

 
5.6 Up a Tree - with Christian Trad
A few feet-trusting moves. Christian followed.

 
5.8 Popcorn - with Yarrow, Kate, Christian, Ken, Sal Trad
A bit hard. Checked Christian's mock placements.

 
5.6 Cool Hand Luke - with Yarrow, Kate, Christian, Ken, Sal Trad
A bit tricky compared to 5.3 trad lead the day before.

 
Fri 14th Apr 2023 - Shawangunks

The Trapps McCarthy Wall
5.3 Three Pines - with Yarrow, Kate Trad 61m Classic
Led all pitches. Went over diving board this time, then across face to ledge. 5.5 variation at the top.

 
Sun 28th Aug 2022 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.5 Rusty Trifle - with Sal, Andrew
1 5.5 Second lead by Sal
2 5.3 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright

linked together (including "P4" to top out and tree webbing). Not scary, but strenuous, horrendous rope drag. Went left of P2 and P3 trees, maybe wrong.

3 5.3 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright
Trad 76m
5.6 Baby P2 - with Sal, Andrew
2 5.6 50m linkup Easy Overhang , lead by Sal

Really cool. Did as one pitch.

 
Fri 12th Aug 2022 - Shawangunks
The Trapps Guides' Wall
5.5 Hawk - with Paul, Christian Trad 70m
Scary at parts. Several sections I couldn't find pro in and ran out a bit. Last pitch is not 5.2

 
Fri 12th Aug 2022 - Shawangunks
The Trapps McCarthy Wall
5.6 Credibility Gap - with Paul, Christian Trad 46m
Not as scary as last time

 
Fri 15th Jul 2022 - Shawangunks

5.5 5.5 G Jackie - with Paul, Christian Trad 40m
I'm calling it an onsight because I don't remember last time

Quit because brain hurty

5.7 Gorilla My Dreams - with Paul Trad

The Trapps The Uberfall
5.7 Nice Crack Climb - with Paul Trad 12m
Harrrd start took several attempts, especially with wet crack from foggy morning. I hate laybacks. Easy after that.

 
Fri 18th Mar 2022 - Shawangunks
The Trapps South Brat End
5.9 (unknown TR) Top rope 15m
Gunks App calls this 69 variation 2 but it's a different route. Not sure if we did the correct route but rock was slimy. Lots of pulling on small crimps, though, to get to better holds, so 5.9 seems appropriate. Good to practice harder technique.

 
Fri 18th Mar 2022 - Shawangunks
The Trapps The Uberfall
5.3 69 - with Paul Trad 15m
Variation 1

 
5.3 69 - with Paul Trad 15m

5.3 69 - with Paul Trad 15m
again in Scarpa Quantic (worse)
