| Not Narcos (7C) | Still can't do the real Narcos, but at least I can do this eliminate, which is actually really fun (all the ticks under Narcos besides Scully's are of this version, not the original). Fun session, started solo and made a new friend JD! |

| The Wheel of Hairpin (8A+) | Such a rad conclusion to a project I've been trying sporadically for the last few years! This one starts Cop Killa, then keeps going right through a hard crux section to the start of Syrup Spilla and finishes on that – the full left to right traverse through the roof. Unlocked the crux link section this year with some new beta, after doing the link and finishing Widowmaker a few days before I knew I had to come back for this line. Had to work hard to re-suss Syrup Spilla (which is hilariously scary and hard for the grade). We had a super fun and strong crew at the roof and Adlai put the pressure on for sure & followed up with that back-to-back second ascent! A killer night at one of my favorite scrappy low mt lemmon bouldering zones with Caroline, Jake, Brandon & Adlai |

| U-Turn (7C+) | Finally figured out how to do the link from the middle of Cop Killa out into the Widowmaker jug, siked!! This one starts Cop Killa and finishes out Widowmaker, and the Wheel of Hairpin will finish out Syrup Spilla. Siked! Solo sesh |

| Time Under Tension (7C+) | Really wanted to flash and kinda biffed it, wearing the wrong shoes and committing to trying the heel instead of toehook for crux. Then spent a few goes dialing in the end, swapped to standard Drones from the CS and swoop (and then twice more, with no falls, for the proper masterpoint!!) Really great climbing on this one, great vision & execution Brian! A really meaningful solo session on a quick trip home, my first time climbing in Wilderness in a couple of years. Glad to get this day in before I came down with covid |

| Odin's Revenge (8A) | 5'5 wingspan = totally different sequence and probably a good bit harder. Definitely going to take 8a for this one. Great climb! |

| Heart Pumps Dust (8A+) | The proper sit to Cardiac Arrest, established by Jake last month! A truly amazing bloc. I think this is the 2nd ascent? Huge props to Jake for pioneering the new techy narrow compression sequence and making it happen! Radical precision t-rex squeezing, trying not to move too much on the polished-to-glass gneiss. Tried for many sessions over the years, but I think this was my third day this year with the new beta. Hard for the grade, I think. A really great afternoon out with Jake Croft & Tanner Mack and lots of joy (and Jake didn't even blow his rest day!) |

| Lost in the Sauce (7C+) | Sick new one just below Cardiac Arrest & above Wilford Brimley, on the roof you duck under going up to CA (not the mantle bloc). Right starts on decent edge with a little incut section on it, left on lowest sloping edge/pinch in the seam feature with a bad left foot in the roof. One brutal tension move to a left undercling, then a rad sequential traverse to a difficult topout above the cool slot jug. Big props to Emeric Quade for the vision, as I'd always walked past this roof and either written it off as either too easy or too blank, depending on start. Turns out, neither are true. A great evening in the canyon with Jake Croft adding another to this crazy stacked cirque of boulders. |

| Narcos (8A) | Everything on this roof feels soft to me but I can somewhat justify taking 8a for this one being that it’s exactly the style of climb I’m strongest on. Sent in 1 session after climbing everything else on the roof. |
