Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

Rebar

Post by Willy »

Really want to try out Rebar this season but not sure if I have enough small gear. I have four aliens (red, green, grey, yellow)
.5 and .75 BD cams and the rest of my rack is pretty standard. Any tips or beta is appreciated. Not looking to onsight this bad boy just need to not get stranded. Also worst case scenario is it possible to get to the anchors of rebar by climbing broken chicken wing first?

probably enough gear, but might be a bit light if you're at your limit. you can protect much of the bottom bit with hand-size gear in bcw and slings.

I remember that the anchors of these two routes are pretty close so I guess a TR would be easy enough. you can def toprope fubar from the rebar anchor! ;)

more importantly, are they dimpled aliens?

that climb has the slickest holds ever. have fun! the bottom half takes big nuts, but it will also accept large nuts for protection.
