We cut that one and replaced it with a new webbing this weekend (March 8, 09).

Awesome. thanks for the quick reply. will call today.

Does anyone know if true north is open right now? I called but did not get to anyone - which might be my answer...

I am getting excited!!

Hi all, I have been onsighting/redpointing 5.11a/5.11b's at the Red in the spring. I am looking to try/do more 5.11c/d's this fall. What are some of your favorite routes at these grades? I am better at vertical/slightly overhanging, technical stuff, but what really gets me motivated is 1) variety in...

That is true. Sorry for that. But still a good route nevertheless.

My favorites for now have been

Random precision
whipstocking
king me
super dario
amerillo sunset
bathtub mary

yadda yadda yadda was good, too.

So, I am a new trad leader and I want to get more pitches in this fall. I have been doing some 5.6s and 5.7s. What are some good 5.8s and (more 5.7s) that you would suggest? I guess for the 5.8s I am looking for things that are not too tricky, but still good.
Thanks for the help...
