kinda scary. hard to believe this is one of the well bolted routes.

so awesome!!

total sandbag haha

Turned into such a battle

Thanks for getting me into this one Aimee! So much fun pulling on pockets. Pretty technical crux too! Third go.

2nd go. Awesome fun. With Aimee. Did another lap for fun!

With Aimee. Did laps for fun/fitness after!

Sooooo good!! With Aimee

Second go. With Michael chickene. Went to the chains on the flash attempt and bitched out

Woohoo!! First 5.12 in five years! Second go

simul climbed in two pitches with dan

Hard for the grade

Warm up. First route at the new

Nice. Heady balance move above the bolt

Awesome underclings!!

With Brian. Sweet technical overhanging arête. Third go.

With Brian. Glorious jug hauling and pump

with vero

With vero

unremarkable but pleasant

Woohoo!! So happy!! Amazing technical face climbing

did 11 laps

one ~V2 boulder problem in the middle of an otherwise 5.6/grade 15 route

happy american

Nice last move toss to the lip

the crag warm up

3 pitches. slab with slopers to chimney out of the cave to juggy fun stuff

Steep jug hauling and knee bars. 2nd go after falling at the chains.

Awesome awesome climbing. Two days. Super technical. No idea why it is marked as scary... the fall from the top of the crux is quite nice.

2nd go

2nd go, third day on with Melissa. Thought the starting moves were really hard, then learned to just walk my feet up the right and it went down pretty easily.

2nd go

super duper cool dynamic body position start. loved figuring this one out!! thanks for the belay Melissa!!! :) not really sure about the grade since the block on the right came off. could easily be 24/7a. harder than Pretenders. harder than Women Ain't Nothing But Trouble.

thought this was Bongoleo initially... "Easiest 21 ever." Yeah, turns out it's 15.

pretty cool moves through the roof!

almost fell. super psyched!!

nice!! super techy and thin problem at the start, then cruising!

2nd go

really fun core boulder problem

thanks Alex!

long route, delicate balance moves on sloping pockets, classic!

short

2nd go

4th go. Awesome toe hook beta

2nd go

sick. second go. soft?

second go

Tenth time on the route. Amazing climb. Will repeat and repeat.

with Thiago and Tony and baboons

skipped last bolt because I didn't see it, quite intense...

just missed the on-sight

with Tony

missed onsight because of stupidity. with Tony

with Tony, warmup

with Tony

with Tony

with Tony, first day at Boven

with Tony, first day at Boven

with Tony, first day at Boven

phil belaying... second day on it, not sure what attempt, but i love this climb... the transition from powerful to delicate is amazing

second go, alex belaying

totally wet on-sight, with tom

with olivier! warm up onsight!

such an amazing route. 4 attempts.

finally haha

epic. wildest 5.9 ever. alex lead first, i lead second.

finally!! cruised it with kat belaying

classic slab climb with one tricky move

2nd go

with carina. blocky ugly 5.8 can be fun!

fun bolted chimney... ran up it right before the storm

2nd go

easier than the 5.8+ next to it lol

2nd go. bouldering on a rope. V2. super fun and powerful crux. sent it with jug-to-jug tall person beta. it may be a one move wonder, but it's a lot of fun. good intro to the grade

2nd go. awesome route. feet cut naturally as you launch for jugs. so cool. did another lap just because it was so fun.

top was wet. took a while to find dry beta. blind balance move around the corner at the start and great exposure after

lead laps

hardly an arete

wonder how many 5.8 climbers get up this

maybe it really only has one hard move, but it's fun climbing!

jug right before the crux broke off when my buddy was trying to on-sight. almost got hit belaying!

first 5.11!!! super cool route... powerful moves... rough slopers, love it

I know it's not very popular or well-liked, but I love this climb. It's hard for the grade, sustained, and not the most beautiful from the ground. But it's great climbing the entire way, and I think one of the best routes at DU. If it were rated 11a/b, it would probably be a lot more well-liked; people don't like getting spanked on 5.10.

Flashed it and did laps. Cool moves, but still chossy. Every time I do this route something small falls off.

nice length and exposure

good, but not as good as Masterpiece

super nice climb. great no-hands rest half way up

such cool features and holds

awesome steep 10a

first climb at Rumney

pretty easy with the right beta

5.8 climb with a V2 boulder problem at the roof. fun

really cool climbing. crux half way up, jugs thru the roof

one hard move indeed...

stiff warm-up for me! felt a bit scared at the crux

Beautiful rock, cool holds, so psyched

could be 10a?

one of the coolest routes here. wish it was longer.

5.8 with a roof!

second go

first climb at Kamouraska!

hard to read. everything looks like a hold. five (?) tries

not really 10a...

classic steep jug haul

nice route. had to down climb and re-shoot roof sequence, but didn't blow my flash. easy climbing after the roof.
