Such a cool climb! Rock climbing is so damn fun. // Great day out with Alex, Erin, and Humma, Alex continued to get closer on Freedom Fighter, Erin sent this mid-sandstorm, I did WDR in two links (minus the last two moves..), and we survived the wind/sand storm on the way out - high today in Vegas is 74, tomorrow it's 42!

Cool holds, topout feels secure if you find the little crimp. Busiest I've ever seen it. Holiday weekend, too cold/wet to climb most anywhere else. This was the only unattended boulder in Kraft.

Super fun. Jug was filled with water, unexpectedly. Hardest downclimb of my life

Full-value! (even the downclimb)

Beautiful. All the polish detracts though - would have given it 5 stars ten years ago.

5 stars for the rare mega-classic that actually still climbs amazingly well.

// Woke up at 4am to drive up to Moe’s and climb with Zane, Megan and Will. I was super exhausted all day but somehow managed to climb lots of climbs anyway. First day in Moe’s and it was amazing!

Super cool movez!

Amazing!

Fun gym-climbing moves

Fun rock climb! Not totally sure where people start it these days - the start Brian Bowman does seems v hard now? // Great day climbing on Critically Acclaimed, Diamond Jigsaw, Rail Yard, and Anthem. Pete got super close on C.A. despite the holds being sandy (the rope stashed there does not fit in a GriGri 2). Team send on Anthem. I was at maximum pump level by the end of it.. endurance is not so good at the moment!

Cool move, felt on the easy side of 9 but who knows or cares with one-movers The topout jug has broken off, no doubt from someone climbing on it sometime in the week after the heavy rain. Annoying that people climb on wet rock, but I think it actually improved the climb—the topout is much cooler and more sequential now. // Sent first try after figuring out how to use the right hand! Haven't sent something new (for me) and hard (for me) in a while, so this felt good. Maybe I have a chance at getting in shape this season, after all.

The line to the right of Blood Trails. Footholds for the first move have broken since SNBII was published, hence me giving it V5 instead of V4. The first move felt like V6 to me, but sandbagging is in these days. And my beta may have been terrible. Anyway, a really hard first move into V3 climbing at a very exciting height in an amazing position. If there was a foothold for the first move, and the rock was slightly better, it'd be a 5-star V3. // We hiked in so Alex could work on Blood Trails, but I figured I'd do this thing while we were there.

Fun, odd moves. // Another day spent out in Kraft trying to recover - got the flash thanks to beta from Mike, did the sit as well and then went out to Bitch Slap to see how I feel relative to last year. Verdict: super, super weak. Gotta work harder!

fun one // quick afternoon out in Kraft, continuing the recovery. Tendons still feel a bit off, but overall a good day - climbed w/ Dave, who figured the beta for me and had several heart-breaker goes

Super fun moves - a great rock climb // Alex and I went to Zion for the weekend, but punctured a sidewall Sunday morning, leading us to go into Hurricane to get a new tire. We decided to just head out to Moe's, since neither of us had been there, and hike around. I haven't climbed at all in 3 or 4 months, and haven't been in shape for 6 or 7, and we had no climbing gear, so we were just gonna hike around and look. But I got too psyched, and a group trying this was nice enough to lend me some chalk and their pad for me to do it in my approach shoes. Made me so happy to be climbing again.

3 fun moves! // first real day back after hyper-extending my right middle finger on the stupid V0 crack on the back of Monkey Bar.. Went back out to Kraft yesterday to test it and it felt good, so went out to the Monument boulders with Alex and Humma today. Got this, Bumpin', and did all the moves on overlapping links on Anthem. Didn't have anything left to go for the send though.. not surprising after not climbing for 2 and a half weeks. Have to go back! Humma was walking weird so Alex and I carried him all the way in and out, and then went for Panino's out on the patio with the fire. A great day.

Super fun move. 7 in the book... seems like a crucial foot has broken since then, but I'm not sure. Either way, a solid 8 for me. Might still be a 7 if you go out to the arete instead of up to the jug edge, but it's not nearly as fun.
