| Straight Out the Gate (8A) | I remember my first day out to 11 mile back in 2018 I tried anger and this one. It felt impossible then. Feeling sentimental finally coming back to a bunch of climbs I haven’t tried in years. Just have to do chill style and then I’ll be done in the canyon for a while. |

| Tricks of the Trade (7C+) | Topped out. Realized there was no way down. Down climbed the boulder I just did till I could drop. Reflected on how incredibly stupid this sport is sometimes. |

| Centerpede (7B+) | I had some non-traditional beta for moves 5-11 (vid is on IG and YT) - since my left knee couldn’t straighten out (post-op recovery still) for the slab sections. I found move 9-11 to be the crux, but mainly because it’s slab and I’m terrible at that. I go right hand to the good crimp which is really not what I’ve seen from previous climbers, but being shorter I think and trying to get my left knee up- this felt like a good option. Overall, it climbs well and for me, it’s a highball so I was a little nervous about the top. I suggest climbing up the backside and checking it out, having a spotter, and there IS a rescue jug on the right side of the top, for when you’re topping out so it isn’t as hard as it looks. Everything after the crux (moves 9-11 ish, 10?) is around v4. I was really psyched to do this one really quick, especially since I have little experience outside and wasn’t sure about the height. A really fun day with the guys and really blessed to have such good conditions on my send go. Happy to provide more information on the climb if anyone needs it (: |

| Flow Storm (7A+) | It's contrived which I don't love but the moves are interesting- different moves with each hold. Recently people started taking v8/7b+ (Flo Storm without the w) for this but I think it's probably just a hard v7/7a+. The crux is pressing off the left heel and going into one of two crimps, usually people choose the higher one because it has a small cube shape to it so you have a left thumb. I find the second one good enough to cut feet on (I’m not great at heel hooking and my ROM still isn’t fully back post-knee surgery). Next committing move is the move out to the pinch. I think this climb is foot work intensive, and I’m usually a brute force, power, crimp climber (inside, we will see if this translates outside…) so I think that’s why this took me a few sessions. Overall, it wasn’t too hard I just wasn’t sure I could link everything. Top out is v4 but I struggled in the dark to see any holds (reminder to practice the tops). |
