Father Time is a 20-pitch gem ? on Middle Cathedral, established ground-up by @mikeylikesrocks over the course of two years. There are three 5.13b crux pitches and five 5.12’s, with the remainder being runout 5.10-5.11. @katiebirdlambert and I tried FT earlier this spring but got bouted by the tricky sequences combined with the effort of hauling 5 days worth of gear during the send attempt. This time called for a different strategy.
.
Over the past two weeks we fixed ropes to the bivy (pitch 10) and hauled our porta-ledge with sleeping gear and a couple day’s worth of food/water. We recon’d the moves and figured out beta, building confidence for the upcoming 6-day push. We rapped down after one night and rested for two days. In that time we had a friend @allen_climbs haul the rest of our food and water for us in order to save energy.

On November 12 Katie and I set off from the ground, alternating leads for the initial 10 pitches. @joolyhart came along as well, filming for @nevernotcollective. We worked through the 5.13 cruxes over the next few days. Unfortunately during this time Katie caught a finger between two carabiners which forced a gnarly blood blister ? The blister ripped, exposing a raw hole on the tip of her index. This freak accident cost Katie a day of climbing as she waited for it to heal over, and continued to plague her on the nails-hard crimping.
.
After giving it her best effort and trying hard to push past the circumstance, Katie put aside her send so that she could support mine. The amount of planning and physical labor, on top of the actual climbing itself, is what makes big walling equal parts satisfying and insanely frustrating, and I know the decision was not an easy one. I can’t thank Katie enough for making this sacrifice so that I could have a chance to push on.
