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
Roof is a bit tricky

 
Sat 18th May 2024 - Shawangunks
Peterskill
5.8 Nutmaster - with Kate Pechenkina, Alex Trad 15m
Normal 8 variation from the right around the arête clean.

 
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

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

 
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 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. 😢

 
5.7 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.

 
Sat 10th Feb 2024 - Tower Wall Area
The Tower Wall
5.7 Johnson Route - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 27m
Fun, some hard moves

 
5.8 Rachel's Crack - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 27m
Cool, went left of big protrusion and there was a little sketchy bit grabbing some crystals

 
5.9 No Rest For The Wicked - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 27m
Clean on second attempt. Once you know the moves it's not bad. Jasson had better beta for the beached whale. Up the right side is thin but fine.

 
5.8 PG13 Back To The Wall - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 18m
Up the arête of shark tooth and then across to wall, left at white part, but also left around the top which was easy slab

 
5.7 Dead Tree Dihedral - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 26m
Brought rope to set up on middle anchor. Tree is gone!

 
5.9 Ogre Arête - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson Trad 27m
Direct face start, in the little alcove

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
5.9 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

5.6 Ursula - with Paul, Fran Trad 55m
Some moves but pretty easy

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

 
Sun 3rd Sep 2023 - Rumney
Main Cliff Main Cliff Right
5.7 White Toad P3 - with Kate Pechenkina, Jasson
3 Trad lead by Jonathan Bright

This pitch is sport bolted, not trad. Kate led P1 to ledge, then I traversed right to lead P3 of White Toad, making this "Magic Toad"?

Trad
Sat 19th Aug 2023 - Shawangunks
Peterskill
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

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

 
5.2 Easy Crack - with Dad, Jasson, Doron Trad
repeat and top out to move anchor to Jumbled Arête

 
Sat 19th Aug 2023 - Shawangunks
Peterskill
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

 
Sun 30th Jul 2023 - Books Tier
The Good Book
5.8 PG13 Up The Slot - with Kate Pechenkina, Oleg Trad 18m
put the anchor in the wrong place, so traversed right at the end to avoid swinging hard

 
Sun 30th Jul 2023 - Tower Wall Area
Dave's Wall
5.10+ PG13 Fifty Foot Of Love - with Kate Pechenkina, Oleg Trad 15m
Got surprisingly far on this, gave up after trying the roof a few different ways

 
5.8 Seven Pieces Of Pro - with Kate Pechenkina, Oleg Trad 14m
I think I did it clean? I don't remember. Maybe tried a few times first.

 
5.10a Roofy Direct - with Kate Pechenkina, Oleg Trad 14m
One really hard move at the overhang

 
Sun 11th Jun 2023 - Adirondacks
Gull Pond
5.5 Ugly as Sin 5.5 (Gull Pond Cliff): FA 2001, Jay Harrison - with Oleg, Kate Pechenkina Trad
Placed a cam and made one move, but was too sketched out to do the rest. Dirty rock, trees in fall zone, hold inside the crack was loose. Clouds of mosquitoes.

 
Sat 10th Jun 2023 - Adirondacks
Lake George Rogers Rock
5.5 Little Finger - with Fran, Kate Pechenkina
1 Trad
2 Trad
3 Trad
Trad 180m
Led first two pitches, but then it started raining, so we bailed left to the rap rings. Loose flakes around the top of 2nd pitch.

5.11 Crumbling Under Pressure - with Kate, Fran, Yarrow Trad 18m
Very hard, could not get anywhere even with cheating. Fall sent me into tree and then into rock. 😣

 
5.9 Between the Lions - with Kate, Fran, Yarrow Trad
Kind of hard. The top is just covered in lichen, probably a route under it.

 
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.

 
Sat 15th Apr 2023 - Shawangunks
Peterskill
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.

 
5.6 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.

 
Wed 2nd Nov 2022 - Red Rock
Pine Creek Canyon Mescalito Mescalito, South Face
5.6 Cat in the Hat - with Zach, Fran Trad 210m
Does the approach count as an attempt? Started raining as we waited at the start.

 
Mon 31st Oct 2022 - Red Rock
First Pullout Tuna and Chips Wall
5.3 Chips and Salsa - with Kate Trad 64m Very Good
Led to the P1 awkward belay. Two bolts and a piton, with two more bolts and chains a few feet away for the next climb over. Kate followed, we set up TR for next climb over, then I climbed up and set up TR for further right climb, then continued through chimney and then stayed right on the scrambling slab with a mud wasp nest (?) in a big roof. Not sure where the end is, never saw bolts for P2, it just transitions into scrambling around the top. TheCrag topo goes left after chimney instead? Spent a lot of time trying to find the way down. Rapped off The Oasis?

 
Sat 29th Oct 2022 - Red Rock
First Pullout Panty Wall
5.6 Cover My Buttress - with Zach Trad 12m
Zach started leading and quit. Followed first three pieces and then finished it. Felt a little sketchy in the off-width section, cool pod to sit in. Topped out and set up top rope anchors for the climbs to the right.

Thought these were sport from guidebook photos, but MP says they are mixed trad. Too sketchy for any of us to finish even with trad gear.
