|
|||||||
5.9 Hard | ★★ First Impressions - with Matt | ||||||
How this doesn't have 3 stars on The Crag is beyond me. Varied, overhung and just a stunning long line with great exposure and moves for the grade. If you have to choose between this and Herbal Essences for a warm-up, choose this one. Unless you're a slab fiend.
|
|||||||
5.9 Hard | ★★ Herbal Essence - with Matt | 12 | |||||
Slabby start gets more overhung as you go. Nice and long, a harder 5.9 than those in the Canal Zone

5.8 Hard | Levada - with Matt | 24m | |||||
Going with my Canal tradition of sheit-ing the bed on the first climb before nothing but Send Train on harder things after.
Quite nice, varied - but the middle fridge-y area might throw you if you read it wrong like I did. Slabby like many of the lower grade routes here. Still worth a star compared to some of the other 5.8 I did. |
|||||||
5.10a/b | Lambada - with Matt | 18m | |||||
A blast. Guidebook gives it star(s) and I would absolutely agree.
Some might find the slab section challenging, but it was fine for me. Loved the slightly overhung section up to a good roof. |
|||||||
5.10- | ★★ Panama Red - with Matt | 15m | |||||
Found this a more challenging route than Ivy League. Some committing moves if this is the upper end of your grade Surprisingly crimpy. Beautifully vertical compared to the other climbs I've done in the crag.
|
|||||||
5.10a | Ivy League - with Matt | 15m | |||||
Lovely, felt delicate. This and Panama Red are nicely vertical compared to the others.
|
|||||||
5.9 | ★★★ Made In The Shade - with Matt | 38m | |||||
Delightful, still slabby, but varied. Worth the 3 stars. Yes, a 70m rope will work for the full route + lowering. Needs about 20 draws, but you can skip the first FH (placed pretty needlessly IMHO), and skip/recycle draws in a couple of places safely
|
|||||||
5.9 | ★★ Berga - with Matt | 24m | |||||
Stemmy - varied for the area, a nice way to end the session
|
|||||||
5.8 | ★ Holiday Road - with Matt | 21m | |||||
Better flow than Venice Beach (climb to left). Still slabby, but better
|
|||||||
5.8 | Venice Beach - with Matt | 23m | |||||
Had to stop to think/read it. Clean otherwise. First climb in N. America so slab style a bit foreign to me
|
|||||||
5.10- Hard | ★★ Panama Red | 15m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Really cool start for the first 4 or so bolts, then turns into slab with no hand holds rest of the way.
|
|||||||
5.10a Easy | Ivy League | 15m | Average | ||||
Rated 5.9+ in the guidebook, about the same level as panama red right next to it. High first bolt.
|
|||||||
5.10- | ★★ Beasto | 21m | ★★ Very Good | ||||
cool route with a fun start. Need to go up to the left at the arete, climb up a bit, find a good hold and then mantle.

very nice easy climb.
|

5.9 | ★ Mr Mistoffeles | 32m | ★ Good | ||||
really nice route, short crux section in the middle that can either be done as a crack, or a side pull.
|
|||||||
5.10b | ★ Rumple Teaser | 30m | ★ Good | ||||
very slabby, no hand holds at the top. First section is 5.7, then harder. Would be scary to lead.

trust your feet for the last move, with the side pull no issue.

5.8 | ★ Holiday Road | 21m | ★ Good | ||||
ending is hard between the last bolt and the anchors, I may have cheated but couldn't find any holds.
|

5.8 | Venice Beach | 23m | Average | ||||
Nice route, lots of ledges
|

|

5.12b/c | ★★ The Walking Dead - with Alex Popinga | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Red point! Still seeping at the last bolt which adds a tricky red point crux. But I knew what I was doing this time so it went very smoothly even though my fingers were starting to numb out a bit at the top. The second draw was pre-clipped as recommended by FA in the guidebook.

5.12b/c | ★★ The Walking Dead - with Alex Popinga | 12m, 5 | ★★ Very Good | ||||
Third go. Got to the last holds before the jug at the anchor. The left sloper had gotten wet from the seepage again (the climb was wet at the top today making it a bit tricky to finish). Got stuck with a high right foot and wet slopers for holds and couldn't reverse back in order to change course. Fell at the last hold again. Then got rained off. Oh well.
|

First 5.12 of the year! Been focusing more on projecting harder things like Guerrera Cosmica at El Chonta, or Lucid Dreaming in Boulder Canyon. Pretty great climb. Techy but enjoyable, well-bolted slab into an absolute rest before a steep hand crack, followed by a powerful jug (or good hold) haul. Chrissy made the hands crack look easy, but when I tried it the first shot, thinking I would onsight this, it may as well have been V10- didn't even know where to begin, and everything felt impossible. I'm sure it would be easier if I had any crack climbing skills at all, but as it happens, I bouldered it out using the crimps inside the crack, which feels like V5ish. Pulled it off second try on this beautiful winter sunny day that just so happens was Chrissy's birthday!

Fell at the roof - a great climb. Runout spoken about before anchor (on Mountain Project) has since been eliminated, and still feels ballsy AF. So happy for to take the charge on this one and put up the draws. Friend/belay partner felt this was a harder climb than Bush Administration to the left (though less sustained). Would climb this and First Impressions again. This wall is stunning.
