| Xerox Candybar (8A) | I did it at 190+lbs and over several 70+ degree sessions. The climb being a slopey lip traverse in these conditions makes it difficult to grade. I would say it is harder physically than Silverback, but easier technically. Tougher than most compression V10s I’ve done. |

| Parallel (5C) | Nice one move crux off the ground, then you enjoy the rest of the climb. Careful not to pull too hard on the top out. 2nd ascent. Neat seams |

| Watchman (6C+) | Really cool sequence with thin crimps, relatively good feet and a chill landing. The movement is stout. Happy to have gotten the 2nd ascent |

| Icarus (7A) | 2nd ascent. Really nice movement with relatively good grips lead to a heady crux and a chill top out. Really pretty block, can’t wait for this thing to be a classic. Mega |

| Watchman (6C+) | East face of boulder just west of trail, ~5 min past Buffalo Ball. Crouch start on large jug feature and traverse right and up the arete. Funky beta may be helpful. 36.141193, -115.481116 |

| Hell on Earth (8B) | Nice one! First move is pretty much the limit of my span, but I did it static. Climbing is weird. Managed to drop it 4 times after the first move💪💪 I love toehooks! |

| Xerox Candybar (8A) | Could be V10, could be V11 but more in line with the other V11s I’ve done in red rocks (to be fair they’re all a bit soft). If you’re small you have to use the intermediate sloper before the last hold and it turns the crux move into a crux sequence. Pumpier than expected, brutal approach. |
