| Mojo (aka Mr. Mojo Rising) (7b+) |

| Copper Hog (right var.) (7c) | Linkup into Brush Hog. Takes the harder face right of Brush Hog for three bolts to the obvious ledge rail. About v7 of nails hard crimping, a cool pocket, a slopey R sidepull, and tedious footwork culminating into some tired moves after all that sustained work on the orange shield. First ascent stayed more direct (left) down low just off the Brush Hog line and this new right variant certainly changes the crux sequence which forces the Right slopey sidepull slap and hard left hand crimping. Fun either way. Rest as much as possible on the good stance and rail, then pull the fun but tough 12- crux of a reachy lockoff and pumpy headwall. The last section just below the anchors is tricky and either a big bump or some more hard pulling and a foot sequence (heartbreaker potential). The true finish of Copperhead start is hard-hard in one brief section (the steep shield up high). Might be v9, so 13+? |

| Mojo (aka Mr. Mojo Rising) (7b+) | Such a rad line! Same start (Bolts 1-2) of Flo-Jo and then remain on the main left face to anchors (instead of cutting right at bolt 3). Pulls multiple 11+/12- cruxes all the way to the anchors with great shakes/stances/rests inbetween each boulder problem. For sure much more difficult and higher volume of cruxes than Flo-Jo but probably checks in @ 12b. Waiting for the downgrade on Flo-jo to 11d/12a from 12+ with my new "Comp-Style" inverted overhead kneebar start. SO FUN! |

| Brush Hog (7a+) | Top ropes first. First go on lead. Beautiful line. In the mood of personal grades lately. 12a/b. Great route with T. The boulders here look pretty dope! |

| Brush Hog (7a+) | A little sandy but I think this thing climbs awesome. AC drilled the holes and I came back and put in the stainless. Only took 8months to get back to it. |

| Stump Route (7c) | Arkansas classic. Amazing stone and classic movement the whole way. Used r-hand handjam thumb out at top of flare off kneebar. Such a rad route. Glad I put some love into this one and got'er rebolted with stainless. This thing is a must do for the 12+ climber. |

| Flojo (7b+) | Don't even say it TMhoon! I need all the points I can get and players gonna hate all day b/c I have huge mitts and can jam. It's just one tiny bit of redemption for all those tight slots and pockets everyone else can use on all the other things in the state and my fatass sausage fingers will never be able to fingerbang. R-hand handjam in the slot off the ground and a huge lockoff to the vertical slot then some real honest 5.11 all the way to them anchors. Numbed out and pumped out of my mind. Fought with everything I had the last 20' and held on for Redpoint. |
