xpsucore09x's Logbook (8 ascents)

Climbed the first 4 pitches with Angela, Derick, and Megan my sister from Philadelphia. After getting lost ont he way in we began around 11:30am with only 2 parties in front of us. The second group passed the first and we caught up to the 1st group as they began their descent. Had to reclimb the first pitch in the dark with a headlamp due to a stuck rope. Fun times. Ropes caught on every rappell after throwing them.
The group in front of us took down the anchors slung to a huge rock at the top of the 4th pitch because they were torn and about to come off the top of the rock. They added new anchors with webbing around the rock.

Lead this for the first time with Scott and Cathy following. They were very patient with me. The beginning scared me the most from the ground but I had no problem with that section.
There are 2 committing moves but i got thru them fine. Lots of rope drag on this one tho.

Lead just the first pitch. I got lost on the second pitch and was told its not worth doing anyways.

Susan White followed. This was my first 5.6ish lead. The beginning and the bulge scared me a bit but I pulled right through it. The 2nd pitch is supposed to be easier but I must of been off route but I found it very difficult. I will lead the first pitch again but want to follow the 2nd pitch before I lead it again.
Also, at the top of the first pitch the wall stole one of my trango flex cams. A few parties tried to get it out with no success. I had problems with that cam all day. It kept getting stuck in everything.

Susan White followed. I had a fun time with this one eventho she did not like the belly roll part.

Susan White followed. Really be careful when you are looking for the oak tree on the 1st belay station. If you go to far right like I did you will be off route and have to come down and figure out the right path.
Awesome climb once I figured it out.

Followed P1 and P3, lead P2. I really want to lead the whole thing. I just have to get the guts up to do the exposure.

Very easy climbing until you get to the crux move. The crux move is def. a 5.8 like the old book says. I had to be lowered down off of it and have people retrieve my gear.
