| Airiana Grande (8a) | One of the best and hardest routes in the Black. Hats off to Matt and John for their incredible multi season ground-up effort. Two days of prep with Harrison, then a redpoint day. |

| Walk of Shame Direct (5b+) | Hog called me out on my previous FA so I had to pioneer this bad Boi. Start mini t’ing 10 feet lower down the trail than the original WOS. Adds a boulder problem and significant pump for the upper section. Proud line. Little dirty but will clean up with traffic like all classic sport routes. |

| Comic Relief (6b) | Matt led the crux so taking the TRonsight. Crux pitch was fun but more balancy than I anticipated! The other 9/9+ pitches were funnnn. Stoked for the first trip to the black and stoked to go back with more confidence next time. |

| Tague Yer Time (7b) | Onsight over two days with my brother. A super high quality route in the black canyon! For those feeling strong and fit, I would recommend leaving your checked bag at home and doing it in a day with just a carry on and maybe a personal item. |
