I needed a good hold on this part of the climb and I decided to use a piece of rock behind my head. It felt really weird, but it worked for what I needed. If its confusing, I was leading up the crack in the upper left hand corner and the dead log is huge and farther down than it looks.

I have no idea what this route was, but it was at phantom spires below a route called anal sex. It was a fun 5.8 crack, but compared to Kenny and Canon I had little fist syndrom and couldn't get the same fist locks that they were able to.

This is a fun trad climb and a great place to teach people how to lead. It was my first lead climb a couple years ago, and I was able to climb it this morning. Does anyone know what the climb is rated if you do it all the way to the top over the mini roof? I wasn't sure, but I thought it was 5.10 after that.

My first photo. Don't worry I'll add some more classy ones later, but this one is funny. Don't bite on the rope when you lead, or practice screaming when you fall. This is one of those accidents that only happens to you once.
