| Right (7A) | Tough crimping. Took quite a bit to figure out beta that would work for me. |

| Hoop Dance (8B+) | 3rd ascent of a Jon Cardwell rig. A very weird style of boulder that took me a lifetime to unlock. Very surreal experience topping this one out. Much satisfaction and disbelief. |

| Hoop Dance (8B+) | Old project finally has a sequence! True start from the proper sit will be that hardest boulder in NM. |

| Mixed Arete (6C) | V5 The moves were hard to figure out. Start crossing to a pinch then the big move out right to the sloper. I could have pulled around the arete and topped out the slab but I went to the top for full value! |

| The V5 (6C) | V5- My style. Small crimps and high feet + one move wonder makes this an easy 5. Chipped a lil' off of the left hand start hold. |

| I Have to Pull off of WHAT (6C) | Scary topout. Took a 15 foot fall from the top out. But such cool moves. Starts with a ring lock with your right hand. Moves up into a small crimp shelf that you match. Right hand up to a SHIT crimp. Bring your left up quickly to stab a less SHIT crimp. Two bigger crimps and lunge to the bulge. Top out via an insecure lieback crack. |

| Right (7A) | Pull onto opposing sidepulls, feet on the big start foot. Out right is a good little horn for your right hand. Left hand gets into the sharp crimp. With no feet you have to hit this rounded black basalt inclusion. Feet high then paddle up some shitty and sharp crimps until you can get the sloping ledge. Fun but kind of sharp. |

| Left (6B) | My friend who I climb with all the time and who always falls before topping out so that I can do the problem first flashed this and robbed me of my feeling of superiority. The bastard! Fun and tall. Kind of a hop to the the big black basalt hold and then top out on tenuous little chicken heads. Tips are thrashed. |

| Crease (6B) | Fun but over too quick. So instead I started with a left hand around the corner in a slow and added an extra move. Makes it no harder but I like having to bump my hand to a bad sloper rather than starting on that matched rail. Is this named after Sidney Poitier's character in Sneakers? |

| Lever Action (6B) | Funky and scary topout. Press it out on your right leg on a questionable hold. Big holds otherwise. Pretty fun lieback crack! |

| Valentina (6A) | Man that rock was pretty slick. Friction was good enough but you felt like you were gonna pop the whole time! |

| Highball Knob Problem (6B) | A three star classic problem. The holds are there and they go. The crimps are small down low and you make one big jump for the large knob. Super fun! |
