| Mobius (7A+) | From a proper sit. For sure slightly harder that way. |

| Blood Diamond (7C+) | To me, it felt like a cool v7 into a one move v10. Difficult to comment on the overall grade: took lots of tries, but went quickly after I got my beta sorted. Ended up jumping with lefty on a little incut, keeping the feet low. The rock is so sick, only ever seen features like this at the immortal technique wall in mystic - this boulder is like a cooler version. |

| Kaizen (8A+) | Really awesome problem on what could be some of the best rock in the state. Flew home from Fontainebleau yesterday so what better time to try this thing- very unique style for granite/the east coast with some of the worst slopers I’ve ever used and a proper slab crux. Hope this gets some love in the coming seasons! |

| Kaizen (8A+) | Formerly known as the "Groton Sloper Project". 25 sessions over 4 years. What an absolute gem. So many variables to this thing. Inconsistent weather, humidity spikes, lack of friction makes this thing such a unique beast. Grading this thing is weird too. Felt harder than Karma and Gecko to me but with the right beta and conditions maybe not? Hard to say. Only time will tell. Opening up this thing will be something I remember for a long time. Back to back sends with YUNG BEN LETS GOOOOO. |

| Prize Fighter (7A) | Surprise send with Isabel, got the giggles for a min after. Feeling a bit better after the shoulder dislocation in August but we have a long way to go still :) Cool climb, great rock! |

| Astroglide (7A) | Fun as long as you don't fall in the water pit, though that might've felt nice...hot one today. |

| Gravity's Rainbow (6B) | So so good, underrated problem. Could be a best of the grade at many New England boulder zones imo |

| Machine Vibes (7C) | Fun problem, not sure if I started in the right place. I pulled on with the biggest low left crimp and the undercling sidepull jug low right. It felt about as low as possible, so hopefully that's right. |

| Blood Diamond (7C+) | First ascent in over a decade? Found some new beta for the lip move that I think made it slightly easier. Really great rock. this thing should be done more than it is. |
