Really fun climbing. Need to get the thin section down solid so I can use this as my warm-up.

The right most of the two new routes. Eh.

New route just to the right of The Goblet. Doesn't look like it'd be any good, but turned out to be quite nice. Should see more action once the rock gets a little cleaner.

Wanted to do the full Californication line, but I was soooo pumped when I got to the first anchors.

10 tries or so to send this thing. My first 5.13 redpoint since my labaral tear. So psyched to be back to this level!

Super fun, balancey route. If you can climb 5.12, get on this thing!

JUGS, JUGS, JUGS, JUGS, JUGS! FUN!!!

Fun little slab climb.

This was another one I made the mistake of first trying in mid-summer. Really cool line that's only downside is the padding situation.

Tried it a couple times in mid-summer a year and a half ago. Bad idea. Walked it first go in perfect spring temps.

Super fun route, with a good variety of climbing. I'll try the extension next trip.

Jugs.

Straight forward moves, but still worth a run.

Balancey moves down low turn to power moves at the top. Pretty fun.

Tricky, balancey middle section.

Very good, and very sustained climbing. Had to settle for a 2nd go send.

Definitely fits its name. A low percentage move guards the middle of the crux and can play mind games with someone projecting it. Never put this many tries into a route before.

Well worth doing once. Less painful right start hold would make it 3 stars.

Super fun route on super jugs. Felt 5.10c/d at my height, so I feel it would be about 11a for someone of more average height. Definitely not the 11c the guidebook says, since I'm just off an injury too.

Wasn't sure how my injuries were going to feel, so I just TR'd it. As I reached the anchors I knew I could have flashed it on the sharp end. Oh well, another time.

Really fun climbing both on the 5.9 approach and the arete that makes up the meat of the climb. To bad the combo makes for some heinous rope drag.

Really fun route. Power pulling that cuts into more technical balancy stuff at the top.

Pumped out on the last move. That's what I get for not warming up while being out of shape. Oh, and the route should have topped out; The finish hold is the worst hold on the route.

Fun route. No clear crux just go go go.

Post hold break. Had to make 2 extra moves in the crux just to clip the bolt, and the hardest crux move is harder. Still a fun bouldery route though.

Trickery. Far more tries than it should have been, but then again I'm out of shape.

5.9 to a short boulder problem.

Stemming up a face. Wasn't what I was expecting, but it was welcome.

Beautiful route, tons of fun moves, and nice and long.

Painful start makes the fun moves at the top not worth it.

5 tries, which is 3 tries too many. Went down easy today. Almost in shape for Rumney!!!

2Go. Felt soft, but it may just be the training kicking in.

Really hard opening moves to easy ground.

3rd go. Not bad, good to get on if you're breaking into 5.12, boulder well, and love crimps.

Cool route, not sure why I never climbed it before. Definitely agree with the upgrade in the most recent version of the guide.

I really liked this route when I first tried it, but it turned into the monster in the corner. Glad to finally be done with it.

3rd go. Why did I wait so long to get on this route?!?! Go climb it now! What are you waiting for?

So close to the onsight! Hiked it next try. Coolest route on the wall.

Took quite a few tries to sort out the beta on this power climb. Glad I'm tall with a +4.

Amazing climb. Hands down the best boulder problem I've done in Washington. Reminded me a lot of the Executioner in Lincoln Woods.

More fun than it looks. Had my body in the wrong position at the crux move on the onsight. Cruised it next try.

3rd try. Super fun route. Still got more work to do to get back in rope shape.

Came back with spotters I could trust. Not sure why I got on it without warming up first though...

Ran this about 3-4 time to warm up. A big "Hell Yeah!" for climbing on easter.

More like cloudy and vertical, but I understand the desire to rhyme.

Felt bad flashing this while the girls worked on it, so I showed them a V8 that they were just as close to finishing and were psyched on.

Warm up part 2. Cool little problem.

Blah. Should have flashed, hand popped. Cruised on next go.

Big moves, good holds and a funky top out... Just the way I like it!

Sent this wile heading up to work Psychosomatic. The moves are good, but don't flow together well making it hard to get in a rhythm. Will definitely be back for the send of psychosomatic.

Hard 5.10 to a short power crux with good holds. Need to start training endurance, not use to routes that are more than 50'.

Good start to the day. Will probably get on Technorigine next time I"m there.

Super slick, but still good. Did the top crux static cause of my bad shoulder.

The only thing keeping this from being a 3 star route is the rock quality.

Amazing climb, picked this out as the one I wanted to get on when I looked at it and it did not disappoint.

Awesome climb! Super fun line, not to be missed.

A harder start to Gulliver's Travels. Start 6' left of it and move up the arete to a hard move over a small bulge then go left into the upper half of Gulliver's Travels. Can currently only be TR'd.

One of the best in the woods! Left shoulder felt good on the dyno despite the impending surgery. Makes me hopeful.

Tried it once about a year ago at the end of the day, bad idea. Went first try this time when fresh.

My first .13. Short V7 crux to huge jugs. Don't know why people stick clip it, easily clipped 1st and 2nd bolts on lead.

3 trys over 2 years. Happy to finally be done with this one.

I think this maybe a tad harder now due to the crux holds being polished by the masses. Also my first .12

3rd Try. Slab to overhanging jug haul to bomber crimp face moves. A must climb!
