yeah, sorry, danny and I did cruisemaster in two. it should be three. let it be known that there is just a small* amount of drag if you do it in two. i thought it was funny as hell watching danny trying to pull lengths of rope before every move. he would yank and pull and yank and pull, then move a couple of feet. I was laughing my ass off... of course i was belaying from the biggest damn thorn bush in the gorge. fucker.
Here is a little experiment that could spice up your multi pitch climbing at the Red.
Go to the Online Guide Search:
http://www.redriverclimbing.com/RRCGuideV2/search.php
Leave Trad and Mixed checked and uncheck the rest of the boxes on this line (Sport, Toprope, ect).
In the rating type between 5.0 and 5.11.
In the Length type between 120 and 500.
And click on Ask the Crag Sloth button.
You will end up with about 70 routes. Some of these routes are multipitch as per the description.
Other routes in the search are not normally climbed in two pitches since they can be done in one long pitch. However if what you want is multipitch climbing, break them up in 60 feet sections. Most of them are crack routes and you could build a hangining belay with gear (this would be a bonus).
What? You don't have the beta on these routes. Oh, the adventure factor is the cherry on the top.
PS: You might have noticed that most of the routes in the search have at least one star.
