| Be the G (7c) | So if youve ever wanted to fight an overhanging handjam body sucking offwidth off the ground thats well protected, this is the line for you. After day 1 i couldnt pull the move, but felt drawn to this hidden arb place on the side of a beautiful canyon. Day 2 came. Still couldnt pull the move working it after trying. Came down and went back up. Failure once more without being able to pull the move neither figure it out while working. Next go, after some rest, i contorted my body up this amazing human puzzle. Passed some beautiful crow chicks and at some point my one rope got stuck on the lip of the offwidth. Having been the rope with all the gear, i busted 4 pieces in at the levitating boulder rest and then did the unthinkable of having to untie one rope so that i could send. Was an awesome epic. Loved it all the way through. Pumpy fun juggyness with no feet after awkward off the ground crux. A must do. As its a morfo route, i am unsure of the grade. It could be easier if you a tiny person able to get proper jams with the high feet or if you got moer long arms maybe you can skip the crux? I dunno. First route i taped my hands on and it was totally worthit. Jam jam jam <3 |

| Pimp my crack (6c+) | Pity about the name, because it's a phenomenal route. One delightfully scary moment with dodgy gear. That solid yellow cam has never looked so good! Thanks for the patience everyone :-) I hung around there forever trying to work it out! Spicy hey Hector!? Next time I'll listen! |

| Too kwaai for a jedi - P2 (6b+) | Awesome second pitch to Hector's first - what a fun thing it is opening routes - heading off into the unknown. Fell off the first time, then came down and sent :-) |
