Soul ram, but that might be a bit much to start with.

Most of the sport(y) routes at Long Wall, FRC and esp. Sky Bridge would be good. And Skunk Love, the two slabs at the play ground. Random Precision (skip the 2nd to last bolt for the full effect). No place like home, yellow brick road, etc. So many killer vert and techy routes, a much different shade of red then what most rrg sport climbers experence.

On much of the trad you get a piece above you or at your waist 95% or the time, the vert routes, you are doing real moves well above (and many times to the side) of the bolts.

Look up the Ball Scratcher route info.

Anyway, I don't post here very often, and I'm not a huge part of the community here or nuthin, but I still think this site is a great resource.

I was definately disappointed when I fell for the April fool's prank (good one by the way), because there have been so many times I've asked questions on here, or looked up information, found out new things, etc. If it weren't for this site, I never would have heard of Muir Valley, which is one of my favorite places to climb now.

So, if you have a problem with it, I think you're being very short-sighted. Sure, there are stupid posts, but that's just life.

I got on Skunk Love this weekend! It was really good, except for the scary-ass lichen. But I LOVED it! Now there are three 11's for me at Purgatory to get work on, yeah!!!

Would someone put a TR on Skunk Love so I can do it again? This is a must do for the slabaholics.

Try the sport climbs at Blue Heron if you want scary slab. Not vertical by any means but not a single positive hold on entire routes. Nothing but friction and clenched anus keeping you from sliding down the cheese grater surface.
