Climbing Reports and Guiding
Multipitch Climbing Reports
Detailed multipitch climbing reports from some of my favorites! I extensively cover route conditions, pitch challenges, gear recommendations, and ideal timing. I also provide practical advice on critical sections, potential hazards, and smooth transitions. These reports are designed to help ensure a safe, well-prepared, and enjoyable climbing experience for others.

Leaving our cabin at around 9pm, my dad and I made the trek out to Bare Blåbær in Lofoten Norway. An uber classic, seven pitch trad route, with some of the highest quality crack climbing in the world!

A stellar multipitch sport route only recently put up in the Estes Park area. Five pitches of steep and thought provoking climbing, leads to an amazing topout with beautiful views of Estes and Longs Peak.

My first long multipitch, which ended up being an absolutely amazing adventure! Easier terrain up the massive McGregor Slab in Estes Park Colorado. A great introduction into extended multipitch climbing.
Who I am as a Climber and PCGI Single Pitch Guide.
Sawyer Pedriana Bauman - Age 29
Although much of my life I have been exposed to climbing, it was not until December of 2023 that I began roped climbing. Growing up in the mountains outside of Boulder Colorado, I was very familiar with the sport. When I was young, my dad would take me out to top rope different routes in Boulder Canyon and I would boulder with classmates. Most of my life however, I didn’t rock climb. Then after college during the Pandemic I moved out to Joshua Tree and started to take climbing more seriously. I spent much of my time outdoors exploring the park during that time. My father and I would go scrambling and bouldering until we finally decided to go buy a rope and some gear. Some years later, I can confidently say that rock climbing has become a deep passion of mine. To this day, my dad is still my favorite partner to climb with!
I am a certified single pitch guide through PCGI. I completed the certification assessment in November of 2026 with PCGI mentor Rick Picar. If you wish to inquire about potential guiding, please submit a form below.
