January: N Face of Chair Pk (first climb in snoqualamie pass area, good times with Jimbo)

February: DHLA, UTW, Index

February: Green Dragon Solo

March: Fast Draw, Sentinel Spire, Colorado National Monument (nothing like running it out 20 ft to a Layton Kor drilled angle you could pull out with your hands)

March: Touchstone Wall, Zion.

March: Iron Messiah, Zion (Classic modererate Zion free climbing, highly recommended)

March: Fine Jade, Castle Valley (first time to this area, props to all those folks who put their time in to save it from development)

April: Heaven's Gate UTW, Index

May: Grand Wall, Squamish

May: Millenium Falcon, Squamish

September: Borderline, Squamish

I've got a very good memory when it comes to routes (if only i could harness that memory for economics class), so if anyone wants any beta on these routes just give me a PM.
