Twilight of the Idols V10 - The Journey = 4 sessions, 15 miles of hiking, 6k elevation gain, immeasurable laughter, endless excuses, some doubt, anxiety and a bit of pain. Getting to the top was only a spot of time.

High Planes Drifter - Bishop v7
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
This one was on the top of my list for the trip.
Also repeated Saigon and Twin Cracks. Capped it off with a dip in the hot springs. What a great day.
Shutts Squeeze - Tramway v10
One little detail at a time over three sessions and I had it figured out! And then it snowed two feet... Luckily Summer came early to SoCal so I didn't have to wait long to get back. #tallnotstrong
Error Correction - Red Rocks v8
Climbed a bunch of things, almost climbed a few things and then got spanked.
For the dab police: I did it again without a shirt on.

I numbed out on the top and got V scared. I find a lot of joy and repeating climbs that once felt hard. I got shut down yesterday but looking forward to a few more days of climbing out here.
