- 5.14a ↑Three months of attempts to get my first 14. Psyched. Never stopped having fun on this climb.
- 5.14bA lesson learned: when in doubt, stick to your strengths. Why actually do the crux when I can double dyno through the whole thing? A line I've tried off and on for a few years. So psyched!!
- 5.14dManiacal devotion. Dreaming big. Relentless battling over 2 years. An amazing feeling when the seemingly impossible can one day feel easy. This route combines my hardest boulder problem with likely the hardest vert/slab pitch I've done. (and the start ain't easy either!)

- 5.13d
- 5.14a
- 5.14a ↑Great cap to another awesome season at the flail!
- 5.14cRad but short lived cruxes. Came together really quick. Psyched to have put it down!!
- 5.14b
- 5.14a
- 5.14a
- 5.14c
- 5.14cAfter some time wandering around looking for the perfect project, this is the line that caught my attention and rekindled the psych. A powerful crux leads to a perfect jug right before an amazing final roof encounter. Such a great feeling and process! I love this stuff!!
- 5.14aAnother gem at Planet X! This one is the extension to John Doe.
- 5.14a
- 5.14aOriginal vision of Buffet Royale with the direct finish straight up the wall.
- 5.14a
- 5.14a
- 5.14b
- 5.14aAnother sick line through the belly of the cave. Crazy steep climbing with really cool holds!! I stared at zoomed in photos for hours trying to see the line and wondering if it could go before finally bolting it.
- 5.14cSuper stoked!!! Took more tries than I would care to count. Definitely feeling in much better Acephale shape this year! Somehow managed to have back to back seasons where this route is actually dry.
- 5.14bAnother Matt Pieterson gem, I was unable to get the direct start to go, but linked into the top via the first 5 bolts of Smooth Cat.
- 5.14aClimbs First Flight entering via Army Ants.
- 5.14d
- 5.14c ↑Great route envisioned by Derek Galloway. 14c/d. I could see it going either way. I tried it off and on for a number of years but never really got stoked on it until Alex Megos freed it in 2016. It slowly grew on me. Beta from Zak and Josh helped a ton. Psyched to send it pretty quick this season! Excited to see what else this section of wall has to offer!
