Bedtime for bonzo

...but Chester is right

Was this ever in question?

I was joking, I can't think of any rout at the red where you could use 3 #6's, except maybe muscle shoals.

naw you only need two #6's for muscle shoals, the bottom takes 5's. course you could sew it up extra good...

yeah two would be enough, I know when I did it with one the second half of the climb was completely unprotected.

haha fun! the first time i lead it i had an old 4.5 (basically a new 5) a new 5, a blue big bro, and an old 5 (1" shy of a #6), that old 5 was on tips up the 2nd half of the route! woo!

on topic: if you wanted to sew up p1 you could take a green, 2 reds, a yellow and a blue, maybe a purple at the start. on the 2nd pitch you'll place 2 yellows in the starting dihedral, there are medium sized pieces across the traverse (gray, purprle, green), then you'll want at least one 3 in the finishing hand crack, 2 if you don't like to go more than 4 ft without gear.

but i just took all the fun out of it.

You can start the traverse lower on the second pitch for a much more enjoyable climb. There are nice small cam placements 3/8" to 1/2" in horizontal pockets.

Well, we climbed it Saturday eavning and had a blast. I ended up popping the question to my girfriend and got engaged. Thanks to all of your input on this forum I selected this route to do it on. I posted a pic on the online guide book.
