| Ripsnorter (7b) | So good. Would get 5 stars if it was longer. First 5.12 since the shoulder started falling apart in Colombia. Here's to a healthy uninjured year... hopefully. |

| International Distress (6c+) | Not nearly as good as I expected. Really hard to read for me... |

| Maximum Overdrive (7a+) | Onsighted to the OG anchor location and finished on Quest's anchor. Best pocket pulling I've done at Spearfish to OG anchor but the slabby climbing to the current anchor is a huge detractor to me. |

| Something Wicked This Way Comes (7a) | Had to try real hard at the crux but I made it a little harder than necessary. Stout lower half to fun, easy pockets. |

| the Muehl Train (6c+) | Didn't care for the crimpy crux (think I made it way harder than necessary) but really enjoyed the rest. 11c |

| Clockwork Orange (7b+) | I think this would be a much better route if it was a shared start with Armageddon for the first 3 bolts. Feels very contrived. Upper half of the route is incredible and independent with awesome varied movement on perfect stone. Most pumped I've been all year? |

| Armageddon (7b) | Rough and hard to read crux below the chains. Really enjoyed the pockets up to the crux. 12b IMO. |
