Did Rewritten this morning with Jack. We swung pitches after the second. The first pitch is a little scary. The Great Zot start is way better. We had to work to get this one done after getting there too late last week. It was fairly cool and windy for most of the morning. I thought this was a really great climb and fairly continuous in difficulty with your typical eldo cruxes. Really nice exposure and fairly small ledges for belays. Took a few photos of some cool looking routes on the way down.

No dice on yesterday's invert du jour but there was a Scarpelli sighting and moderate success on the day's fingers and fists and hands.

My partner freed the 3rd pitch of our project yesterday but i could not get the one silly hard move at the start of the pitch. Oh well, I led the pitch ground up cleaning and whatnot on the lead but knew it was going to be stupid hard so let the real climber in the team have the FFA...
Flew solo today checking out an old unfinished sport project.

Tradman got the stoke.
Met a couple kind people at Little John's Tower today, did a nice little Veed "5.6" and finished on an exquisite newly bolted face to a perfectly set anchor. Thanks Z. Orenzack and Rachel! Shady daze with good company! The fists to rings thing on the TR was great! Cannot wait to try the steeep 3-bolt minihedral!

Jack and I had not done any sport climbing in CO yet so we decided to start with a good one. Royal Flush on Mt Royal in Frisco. 5 minute approach, mostly bolted, and 1500ft long. We did it in 9 pitches linking 2 or 3 every time. There are something like 20 sets of bolted anchors up this thing. We took a rack of tcu's to .75 and like 20 draws. We got off route for a couple of pitches but got back on and followed a couple from Steamboat to the top. There are a couple of times where you untie and walk up ledges but really fun climbing the whole way. Jack leading the 8th pitch where he linked a 5.7 with the two 5.9 cruxes on the 8th pitch. We swapped leads the whole way.

Hartounini (lol) plays dirty. Thanks TBC.
I did not deflate anything in that picture, however, my ego was a bit deflated in the aftermath...
