routes page 1

Welcome to my online climbing journal. These “routes pages” are lists of what I would call “major routes”and or summits. They are the bigger routes that I have been able to climb during my climbing life.  My minimum criterion to make it on these lists are based on:  the time period in my life, # of pitches (3 or more), difficulty , etc. I have also a diary of the minor routes in other journals. I am very glad I kept track from the beginning. It has added motivation to do bigger and harder routes.  I hope you are inspired to do the same.

Use it to build your tick list and surf trip reports.

Beginning on pg 3 there are links to my personal trip reports. Some links are from other parties as well.

-Thank you to my aunt Sandy and uncle Floyd for buying me my first climbing journal book long ago!
