Woodcock Cove

March 24, 2024


Big Orange Baby (5.10+) - Finger crux 25 feet up. Fun traverse left to right halfway with large hands and smearing feet.

Honky Red (5.11a) - Thin but straightforward.

Hokumpoke (5.11b/c) - Hard, tricky, beta-intensive start. Rest below the roof. Then fire through it, and don't stop until you're standing up straight above it. I made the mistake of trying to pause right above the roof and pumped out, had to take.

Insurrection (5.11a) - Thin delicate climbing. Middle section was crux. Lots of back and forth to the left and right.

Mask It or Casket (5.12-) - Heel hook on first roof. Second roof looks awkward but is all jugs. On the face above, when it gets thin, move left to the corner/arete. Above the next clip, move far right. Go to the top. I fell multiple times before I figured out that I needed to go left instead of straight up in the middle of this climb.

Sedition (5.10d) - Chill face climbing with a small, juggy roof.
