new guidebook

Post by ecp88 »

Has anyone seen if there are any new trad lines listed in the new guide book? If all the new routes are bolt ladders in Muir Valley then its not worth it, I can save my money.

Yea, there are some new trad lines. Probably not enough to warrant buying a new book though.

That's funny.
You must not have climbed many routes in Muir.
Or your just into slamming the Webers.

There are also new bolt ladders in the PMRP. But, you should really try climbing instead of aiding on the bolts. It's more enjoyable.

Absolutely not - I have great respect for the Webers. And yes, I've climbed my share of routes in Muir. Its the clean, nice smelling sport climbers in line in front of me on all the routes at Muir that makes trad climbing so much more pleasurable.

Actually after thinking a bit more about it there are quite a few new trad lines on the PMRP and at Muir. The majority of the new lines are sport routes though. In the "old" areas there are a few new ones too.

Heh, spoken like a newby tard climber for sure. Maybe once you grow up and get a bit stronger and better you might come to learn that while the red has some pretty good trad lines here and there, it is truly an amazing sport climbing area. People do not come here from around the world to climb at fortress, they come here to sample some of the very best sport climbing anywhere.

I haven't ever waited in line for a sport climb, but when was the last time I climbed something under 5.12.
