5.9 | Use Power! (evo Portland)
I just started climbing with a new friend that is a few inches shorter than me.
5.6 | Arthur Page (evo Portland)
This is normally an easy warm-up route but it is a bit more work in the dark finding your feet. It was the first time I’ve been able to climb a wall in the dark.

So, this is the first real climbing in the dark. I have the auto belay to thank since my partner couldn’t make it.
