first big wall
climbed it in a day with Rob-- awesome climb, led 4 pitches--finish is heads up on a 5.8 slab. a green alien allowed me to move up and right and aid the last move to the chains (watch rope drag--you think you are home free before this slab and when you realize whats happening you scramble for placements which may work against you, drag-wise!)

Amazing
My first aid climb; freed the 1st 5.10 variation pitch and freed/french-aided the 2nd 5.10 pitch. Took on the bolt ladder that was fun and jugged the rest due to some traffic on the line (but not too bad...surprisingly).

600' of fingers!!!!!
what a route! lots of finger crack climbing! only lead fall was the first try on the dyno pitch....IC is perfect training for this one.
edit: andreas lead the technical crux, though i did onsight what was the crux for him on the previous attempt (.12- chimney), among others.
one of the best routes i have ever done imho
crossing the river was the crux for me
