Southern Region Trad

Post by **Hefe** » Wed Jul 30, 2003 2:11 pm

I have climbed through the Turnstile and it's a great route. Can anyone give me suggestions on some trad down there? I need my trad fix when I go to the southern Region.

I'm tellin' ya, Tony's Happy Christmas Crack ain't half bad. Also do the yellow flake (the audition) and Split Decision at the Arena.

When your done with all those, just go to the Lower gorge and all your trad fixes will be satisfied

I've done many of the old routes in the Lower Gorge. I am just looking for new routes

Right on Hefe. There seem to be alot of nice looking routes in the Southern Region. I have only done a few. Still so many routes that I havent done all over the gorge. Do you climb in one of the gyms in indy...I,ve probably seen you around.

Is yellow sodomizer that thing strait up the hill from the first little parking pulloff?

I think thats right, you can see if from the road throught the trees.

That is quite a marvelous encounter if I must say so myself!
HOOP!

That looks cool too but I was talking about a wide crack that leans way right
