Spent the day onsighting some easy routes getting used to placing gear. Gear achors and tree anchors for the win.
Easy over 5.2
Sleepwalking 5.3
Gimme three steps 5.3
Cornflake 5.4
Right block-right 5.4
This was quite helpful as the climbing easy well bellow my abilities so I was able to focus on the gear.
To date: 5 Trad Leads
Pretty cool, guys!
Accomplished my first Trad Lead on Captain's Log 5.4 at Peterskill, Sunday, May 4th, 2026. Marking exactly 8 months since I first stepped into a bouldering gym on September 4th, 2025, at 41 years old and learned what a V0 was.
What a rad 8 months I've had. Onwards and upwards 🙌
Climbing predominantly in the gunks. I'm plugging these guys this weekend for the first time.
