| Coral Sea (8a) | Sloppy battle in upper-30’s temps with a great crew. The underclings to slab transition is my crux by far, but I also managed to punt once on the 5.12 post-crux section and nearly punted again at the anchors. 7 sessions over the past two months plus 1 several years ago. |

| Vantage Point (6c) | 1st go. Used the piton at the top to redirect a top rope anchor. Less scary than Groupie Fantasy! |

| Hawaii 5.0 (5a) | Thought it was going to be a walk in the park but with my backpack on I couldn't fit in the chimney and had to lay back the arete the entire way! Not 5.0! Spicey free solo. Good thing I had my climbing shoes on! |

| Sidewalk Surfing (7b+) | Last 5.12 at Waimea for me and the last route on this block! Sharp, technical, and scary. Felt good to do it on lead after lots of top rope attempts. |
