"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

2015 SeasonLost Arrow-- first time (solo ascent) was a shameless hangdog ascent. Second time was pretty solid, no falls, but not totally free of resting on the rope. Third time (solo again) was a bit worse than the second. Fourth was better. This is a route worth doing over and over to get solid at the grade because it has a little of just about everything.
Splinters-- a fun 5.7 romp
The Corner-- This feels like a sandbagged 5.5 until you discover the key hold.
Diagonal-- area classic. Despite the 9- rating, people struggle all the time on this because of the awkward positions.
Dark Corner-- fun
Skid Row-- worth doing but nothing special

Scrambles onlyThe technical routes here are beyond my free soloing ability, although I'd still like to give The Corner a try. I had to settle for some Class 4 climbing instead.
