Route Suggestions Needed

Post by Josephine »

I'm looking for good easy routes for a friend of mine to climb. He's a paraplegic and this is his first trip back to the red since his accident.

Routes need to be jug hauls - easier the better. Vertical works - overhanging is preferred. he can aid past a hard spot - but he wants to climb not aid.

easy access to/from parking lot is very important since we'll be carrying him.

suggestions?

The portion of Creature Feature above the roof. The approach is short, too.

I'll admit I'm not up on current access, but what about some of the Torrent climbs? There are those two that are right next to the access road that goes south from the Via Ferrata parking lot.

Ask Rick if he will let you all drive down into Muir. That might help.

Lowered Expectations is ideal. There's other stuff there too.

Eureka would not be bad, except it is not an easy approach for someone to be carried. How about the 10's at drive by?

We would be happy to take him to any climb in the Valley. There are some climbs that should work here. Call Liz or Rick at 606-668-9066 or cell 317-402-0118.

Google "Mark Wellman" for the para that did the Nose on El Cap twice.
