2013-04-15 Topus Arete Ibex Boulder V5 Red point Tried this for a day a few months back and was surprised to do it first go on this trip. It's all good!
2013-03-31 Gang of Four Logan Canyon Sport 5.11a Flash
2013-03-17 Unknown Renown Welcome springs Sport 5.11d Red point Cool climbing with one very sharp deterring hold. I've got it checked in my book that I tried this a couple years ago, but I don't recollect any of it. So it was fun trying to "onsight" it.
2013-03-16 Pussycat Welcome springs Sport 5.13a Red point Whew. I felt mentally fatigued just thinking about this route let alone climbing it. Felt impossible on my first go up it but it came together nicely. Punted off the top after clipping the last bolt though on the featureless slab...that was a woozy and a wobbler. Happily put it down the same day though. (3d)
2013-03-16 Re-do Welcome springs Sport 5.12b Red point Tweaky pocket for me, but another fantastic pitch!
2013-03-13 Robbed Welcome springs Sport 5.12c Red point Hard boulder problem leads to nice climbing. Let out a whoop when I made it through the start that took a little figuring. 2d
2013-03-04 Desperado New Joe's Boulder V1 Flash
2013-03-04 Contact New Joe's Boulder V5 V4+ Red point Did this really quick, which makes me think I had some good beta, because slopers are not my style and I hardly touched 'em! super fun.
2013-03-04 Desperate New Joe's Boulder V2 Flash Aesthetic and nice climbing.
2013-03-04 Poop Man New Joe's Boulder V2 Flash A little awkward. But a really cool runnel/tufa feature that you grab.
2013-03-04 Sneaker New Joe's Boulder V1 Flash
2013-03-04 Stand-Up New Joe's Boulder V3 Red point thrutchy.
2013-03-04 Dark Hole New Joe's Boulder V4 Red point Not bad minus the sand

2013-03-03 Dude Right Fork Boulder V2 V4 Red point Big lock-off. but again really good climbing with one sharp hold.
2013-03-03 Big Lebowski New Joe's Boulder V3 Flash Super fun! Gymnastic climbing with fun big moves on pockets to crimpy slab.
2013-03-03 Sexy Chicken New Joe's Boulder V1 Flash Short and sweet.
2013-03-03 Chickenish New Joe's Boulder V2 V0 Flash
2013-03-03 No Machine New Joe's Boulder V1 Red point long reach to hollow rocks at top, but worth doing. Tread lightly. It's worth it to top out because of the awesome iron-ore hold you grab while mantling. Cool traverse jugs at start.
2013-02-18 Stolen Dream The Simian Complex, St. George area Sport 5.12b 5.12a Red point Once I figured out the beta, this wasn't so bad. I was trying to force a different direction at the crux. Really good climbing though with variety and some awesome holds! Perfectly sculpted jugs and underclings.
2013-02-17 Natural Selection The Simian Complex, St. George area Sport 5.11a Flash Nice climbing with some variety.
2013-02-17 Unknown The Simian Complex, St. George area Sport 5.11d 5.11c On-sight Nice climbing with cool pockets and a hard clipping anchor finish.
2013-02-17 Santa Clara Warm-Up The Simian Complex, St. George area Sport 5.10b On-sight
2013-02-16 This Side of Paradise Gorilla Cliffs, St. George Sport 5.11d 5.11c Flash Easier than the 11b? Maybe. Different style definitely. Fun big moves through the "gorilla mouth" low with a fun slab up top. The run outs aren't bad either.
2013-02-16 Glass Slipper Gorilla Cliffs, St. George Sport 5.12a Red point Really hard move down low leads to nice climbing above the 3rd bolt. 2g.
2013-02-16 Just Left of Paradise Gorilla Cliffs, St. George Sport 5.11b Flash Oi. Sustained. Keeps you thinking the whole way with interesting climbing.
2013-02-03 Sun Dance Logan Canyon Sport 5.12a Red point Knee-deep+ hiking in the snow was worth it to get above the inversion and do some climbing in the sun! Weird to climb on a rope again...2g.
2013-01-21 Monkey Bar Monkey Bar Boulder, Red Rocks Boulder V2 Red point Did this one a year or two ago, and it is SOO much fun!
2013-01-21 The Pearl Kraft Boulders Boulder V5 V4+ Red point Since my first trip ever bouldering to Kraft, I have wanted to do this. It's always stood out to me and I finally put it down this weekend...even in the sun.
2013-01-19 Sichuan Peppercorn Moe's Valley Boulder V5 Red point Tried this one weekend and couldn't get past the kneebar, came back a couple weeks later and it came together quickly. Lots of fun, but the sit start-traverse into it makes it stellar!
2013-01-19 Kung-Pao Moe's Valley Boulder V6 Red point an excellent line. Did the v5 variation first, and then surprisingly added this right after and let out a holler!
2013-01-19 Under boy Moe's Valley Boulder V4 Red point Finally! This thing took a lot of my skin...I also dabbed on Pawel, so I should probably do it again...

2013-01-02 Cornered Moe's Valley Boulder V0 Flash
2013-01-02 Hermoine Moe's Valley Boulder V3 Red point really cool oppositional sidepulls.
2013-01-02 Teepee Dyno Moe's Valley Boulder V2 Flash You don't have to dyno, just lock off big, but a dyno would be cool.
