| The Man in Me (8b) | 14/15 days for me. A true lesson in perseverance for me... pretty sure it's the longest that I've tried a route I think. I must have climbed through the lip crux over 35 times. The three moves revolving around the half-pad mono are surely the hardest slab/vert sequence I have ever tried or done. I snapped holds off the bottom on three different occasions... I guess in its current state without the sika spike undercling and the ridiculous diving board, it actually climbs a bit better. Thanks to all the characters along the way (special shout out to Matty "the Sanitizer" for resanitizing the key hold that snapped). 2 days on the return revenge mission in November on icy day with Jen. |

| Sky Father (6c+) | First new route in over a year. Pretty easy one with minimal cleaning sitting right between Scalphunter and Spirit in The Sky. Two cruxes, the harder being up high. A good fit for the ledge On a late summer evening, following a full day, the usual gang found themselves at Matty & Anna's talking shit, shooting cans, losing our drinks and minds. A typical and vigorous debate emerged from the midnight scholars, Mr. Sapiecha & Mr. Andrew. "The Old Testament is one of the finest pieces of literature!" One exclaimed. "I don't care what you believe in: Jesus, Buddha, Allah, SKY FATHER....." There, in Sylvia's back yard manger, it was born. Sky Father wants you to climb it. |

| Flying Squirrel (7c+) | So good. Finally gave this route the attention it deserves. A series of pretty big moves with a powerful start and an amazing rest leads to a tricky and technical finish. Will be (extra) difficult for shorties. |

| White Stork Crying (7c) | (aka Construction Project) White Storks are a prominant bird in Ukraine, tied closely to folklore, especially in villages. Thanks to all who believed, and supported, and chirped me along the way. What a rewarding journey from conception to construction to prep and send. Brave the reinforced choss to steeper resistance climbing, and an easier (but not easy) face to the top. |

| Big Kahuna (8b) | Loved it! Unlike most, I spent most of my time falling off the terrain above the roof crux. Maybe time to work on the base fitness..... thanks to all who trekked up to the ledge with me. |
