i climbed these routes just this weekend. the arrowhead took small cams for me, bd .3 and below. i was finding myself wanting for pink tricams on almost every placement. the other routes are 2 red and 2 green camalots, maybe a purple and gold at least. big gear up top for the 8, as it is ow. big red, purple, and green, but you could walk one if you don't have much big gear.

Enviro will take hexes and will supplement your cams well,

You can climb arrowhead with only nuts. Takes a little longer to figure the placements.

Environmental is super sweet. From what I remember, it's mostly #.75 camalot size. Also takes a bunch of #1 camalots and a few #2 camalots. I remember plugging in at least two big stoppers.

Arrowhead takes lots of bitty gear. If you took a double set of BD camalots from #.3 to #3 you'd have plenty.

Zambezi Plunge has a fun first half and a horrendous overhanging offwidth second half. I usually step right at the ledge and finish on Ju-ju, which is sweet.

Also *HIGHLY* recommend Central Scrutinizer (5.9) and Big Money (5.9). Both are great. Contrary to what it may look like from the ground, CS takes great natural pro (TCU's and stoppers) and the crux is protected by a bolt.

man, "natural" pro is nuts (ie: peanuts, almonds, or the always bomber [n]wal[/b]nuts), roots, rocks, mud, dirt, birds, bees, trees, water..

get with the program. why do you think just to the right of it is a route called environmental impact..
