| Zephyr (6c+) | A striking 90-foot splitter visible from the river. I thought it looked unbearably wide but Celin had the vision. He went up it, put the anchors in and very nearly sent it 3 times. Next year for him... |

| Papafuku (6a+) | Feels longer than it is. Fingers in a corner to an offwidth/squeeze finish. |

| Mohala (5b+) | The southeast face of The Dallas Phallus, a tower in Labyrinth Canyon of which we made the FA. Goes at 5.8 A2. Pins and RBs required. |

| Feelin '22 (6a+) | A beautiful corner of dark rock, mostly hands to wide hands. I aid-soloed the route to get anchors in, then led it our next day out. A nod to T-Swift here in 2022 :) |

| The Color of Envy (6c+) | One of the finer lines I've seen on the Green: 80 meters long, 3 pitches (5.11- 35m; 5.11+ 34m; 5.10 11m) separated by comfortable ledges. A giant right-facing corner with beautiful views up-river. Fun day with Celin and Mike. |

| Mudlark (7b) | An attractive left-facing corner minus the grungy start. Mostly .4 Camalots with some thinner sections. Bouldery. Sandy. |

| Make It A Double (7a+) | Off-fingers splitter with welcome relief from the corner to the right. Two cracks are better than one! |

| Birds of Prey (7a) | A gorgeous left-facing 32 meter splitter! The crux is navigating a 20' section of .75 C over a bulge, then #1 city to the top! |

| War Feather (6c+) | A striking crack line up the southeast face of the previously unclimbed "Peregrine Pillar." An excellent outing with Celin. 3 pitches: 11+, 10+, 10- |

| Boulder Tears (7a) | This beautiful, steep boulder has a striking splitter down the middle with two tiers. At first glance it looked like it would be a smaller crack and much harder, but thankfully the beginning is the short-lived hard bit starting with orange metolius size and by the second tier overhanging #2 cams. You can access the anchors on the back side of the boulder to set up a toprope with double-length slings if preferred. In memory of those lost in the tragic Boulder massacre. |

| Barbie Adventure Pack (8a) | Chris's FA, we'd been eyeing it for years. Due to Covid great place to hunker down in the middle of nowhere. A little bit of everything on this one, even kneebars on the lower layback. My first desert splitter 5.13 (not counting Great Red Roof). |

| Bareback Rodeo (8a) | A striking left-facing corner, fingers to tips, with some thin face climbing up high. The offwidth start is no gimme either... This would be sought after at Indian Creek, yet perfect as a lockdown project with just me and Heather. |

| Barbie Adventure Pack (7c+) | I aided this incredible line in 2016 and tried it on and off for the next couple of years. This year I had time during lockdown to commit to the route, and it's a real classic. 32 meters long, with multiple cruxes from off fingers to tips, it's a stunning, slightly overhanging line. |

| Brokeback Corner (7c) | Roy put the bolts in at the anchor years ago, psyched to have sent this thin tech piece! Took a nasty fall on it a couple years ago after a small cam ripped, had to overcome some fear. Another Covid project. |

| Covid Corner (6c+) | An impressive corner, worth 5 stars if it weren’t for a somewhat junky start. Less than vertical jamming leads to a bulge and the final, beautiful crack of tight #1 Camalots to a fun finale. |

| Social Distance (6b) | Unlike the other routes here, this aesthetic line stays shady until midday, then only catches a few hours of sun. Start on a tiered ledge and ascend the corner as it gradually opens up to #4 Camalots near the top. |

| Flatten the Curve (7a) | The eye-catching, right-facing corner that slowly widens from tips to fists. A Green River classic, marred only by a disconcerting pillar off the ground. |

| Passion Gap (7a) | I climbed it and put in the anchors, Heather sent it first. A team effort. An imperfect start on a pillar is followed by a beautiful .75 Camalot corner, a wide, layback roof and a final section of thin hands. 33 meters. |
