the buisness sucks
i like almost every route, at least in the gorge, however:
don't live up to the hype= bathtub mary, the middle and right route on johnnys wall(bethel, whatever) boltergiest, 110 ft of suck my balls, buff the wood, chainsaw, aquaduct pocket, and red river renaissance to name a few.

the really crappy:
most of practice wall, the two 11s at solar, band-of-queers, monkey bars and the other ten on that ledge, left field (apoptolitic chic and neighbor) lord of the flys, abeano and ch4, the perfect pint, the two 11s by the tree at indy wall, and trundling trolls.

bullfuckingshitthatneedstobeerased
jump for joy, chesterchester fried chicken, threat level blue, the7and8 at pistol ridge, boom boom out go the lights, the two 10 slabs at funk rock, perverse intentions, and crazy game of poker, rectal exorcism.

Not a big fan of:

The Madness Cave
The Undertow
Thanatopsis
Whiteman's overbite
(Other than that the lode is great!)
The Nothing

So that is three of my own routes and good portion of the hard routes I've done in the Red. I guess I don't like first ascents or climbing hard.

everything at The Blowing Alley. funny how the placement of the "L" makes it more apt.

Really?

I know that asshole, and he told me that he wished people would stay the hell off his routes, and go climb at the New instead of the Red.

my bad man, I am sure you had nothing to do with the 5 star rating that got my hopes up, I shouldn't have blamed the equipper. Hell, it'll probably clean up to be a great climb, just sayin, if I expected choss I would have enjoy it more.

just thought i would let you know i had nothing to do with the plug..... and i would have to agree the pitch isnt that great.

peer pressure
brother stair
threat level blue
a few at practice wall
jump for joy

many more that would qualify as not that great but decent enough to climb

I don't know if it is the worst route, but my worst experience on a route was Listerine Girl over at Shady Grove. I have never been so scared for myself and my belayer as I was standing on that big ass pink surfboard.

Peer Review over by Solar Collector is a really shitty route... It gets my vote as the WORST route in the red.
