| Honk in the Tunnel (7b) | Great route, sleeper puoux classic, building back endurance. Super awesome head wall climbing / stone! |

| The Jeff Hansen Memorial Route (7c+) | Quite nice, and tough! I propose 13a/b. Crux 1 is WAY easier for for the more apelike folks. Then, crux 2 might be a touch easier if you move into Honk sooner. Regardless, great rock climb! |

| Hard Kor (7b) | After an x-mas day celebration full of mimosas, red wine, and an all day feast, I am pleasantly surprised to secure a tick––as opposed to wallowing in hungover self-pity. Also––no idea why Urban is so popular when this gem to the right is twice as good. |

| Gutless Wonder (8b+) | A very unlikely day for sending! Actively snowing and seeping all over the place. Somehow this thing stayed dry and somehow it actually felt pretty sticky! Stoked to do this one! Actually meant a lot for me! As far as the grade, I’ll say hard for 14a. Consensus has perhaps not really settled since, to my knowledge this is the route’s 10th ascent and only 3 out of the 9 ascents have called it 14a rather than the FA grade of 14b. Harder than 31 degrees for sure and currently hardest established route at the puoux. |

| Reprieve (7c+) | I broke a hold in the crux which I think made it slightly harder. The break made it so the right hand was also more of a two finger pocket. I think the grade remains the same |

| The Long Haul (7c+) | I love doing things first tie in for the day. Kinda thought it may be harder than 7c+ and it’s hard to trust all these strong bonks that log here at the puoux. But after it’s all said and done I don’t fight with consensus |

| Asleep at the Wheel (6b) | Not a great climb, but I appreciate Jeff for fixing this up and making it something better. Something easy to warm up on. I bet it will clean up well over the years. |
