| Kenton on one of his many takes while ascending Bottled Up Warrior |
Went to Foster Falls on May 29, 2022 with Bryan and his two sons Brendan and Aidan.
Narcissism (5.10b/c) - Hard for the grade. Top crack was cruxy.
Dihedral (5.9 trad) - A fun little climb in the corner.
Bottled Up Warrior (5.12b) - Crux clearing the big lower roof. I hung on the rope many times on this climb, but made it to the top eventually. This was fun.
Lynn's Route (5.11b) - The start of this felt quite hard to me, and I was glad to have stick-clipped the first bolt. I got nervous about taking a big swing (and potentially cutting the rope on an edge) when I was being lowered, so I kept a draw between me and the rope to my belayer the whole way down. Not my favorite climb.
Moonscape (5.10b) - Short, but not easy. Quite a hard move at the top. I ended up using an undercling and moving my feet high up to reach the last holds.
On The Side (5.8 trad) - Felt hard for 5.8 to me, I was struggling to place gear in the fist crack near the top. Many face holds looked good but weren't as good as they looked.
