攀登 in 美国 as Red point

Nice climb where you go from kneebar to kneebar like a bee going from flower to flower. Some physical big moves involving not-that-great pinches, and placing the kneebars can be tiring. Took me a minute to figure out (thank you Chrissy), but got it second go! First 12 send post-Kalymnos Also, I believe this is a special climb. According to my records on theCrag, I have done as many 5.12s in 2023 than I have in all other years combined- #41.

Sent second go. Guidebook and MP give 12b, I agree with soft 12b

One of my favourite routes ever. Had to bail on the sat as got too dark to see, then came back and sent it

Setup toprope on second climb

One of my favourite climbs ever! Perfect stemming up a surreal hexagonal feature.

Tres largos de grieta interminable

Buena tarde con los homies escalando. Increíble ruta.

probably 10 tries over 5 sessions, and then sent while hanging draws on warmup/beta burn.

Up to the third pitch only for a booty mission then downclimbed. The god have been kind.

My only two points scored during the comp day

Local guidebook grades this 5.11d

woohoo! it was a close one today but I nabbed it! arms were so cooked at the top the best holds on the route felt like garbage. stem more next time and stop trying to do everything in perfect crack form dummy

Setup toprope for Amy and Greg

What an unforgettable ascent. All-time moment FOR SURE. As Chrissy and Jonathan worked Over the Top (which both of them seeeent!!), I, shoulder recently semi-tweaked, wasn't sure what I was gonna do. I was so close to just belaying and taking it easy, as I was leaving for Kalymnos that very afternoon. I warmed up just in case. My shoulder was feeling OK, so I decided to give this one a good flash try after being sprayed by Chrissy. Got a good first burn in, but it started raining. I got to the top and fully expected to clean the route. My friends told me to leave it up, as I wondered how it would be possible to get up it again. I am so glad they had this kind of patience and psyche to climb. After the rain passed and the rock (sort of) dried, I gave it a determined second go. After the crux move at the lip of the slopers, I took a HUGE whipper which was pretty fun and funny. I said "no way" and wanted to try again immediately. I rested a couple minutes, and went up again. What followed was a screamfest assembled of extremely unlikely sticks to sub-optimal slopers for the entire climb, even to the clipping of the chains. I have never tried so hard on a climb, ever. I was completely overjoyed with such an unlikely send, but mainly because I didn't know I could dig that deep. I felt the consequences after for sure, which was a second confirmation that I did indeed access a level of effort previously unknown to me. What a prelude to Kalymnos!!
