Looking for the perfect routes

Post by **vic** » Mon Sep 15, 2003 6:07 pm

How familiar are you with the red?
Talk about trad routes you wouldn't want anyone to miss out on...

Does anyone know 3-5 routes which support the following criteria?
1. Trad with great protection
2. Easy face climb (5.6 – 5.9): It could be near a crack for protection, but the actual climb would take place on face holds
3. Long climb (not a 30-footer)
4. Away from crowd

I was thinking of WOD (similar to Bongo), but anything else ???

Diamond in the crack is good, might want to wait till it gets colder though so the hike in is not as bad. Green eggs and Ham are both quality but kinda short. why face climbs?

If you do Bandolier with Natural pro its kinda run out, right?

I am with Wes, Pebble Beach.... Central Scrutanizer (Great Climb), Arrowhead (Unique) these two are mixed face climbs, one bolt on the Arrowhead & a bolt & pin on CS. There are also several other good trad lines here, 5.7, 5.8 & 5.9, but they involve more stemming &/or crack climbing.
