Walls for a beginner / intermediate team?

[dray2009]

Hi all,

I did a search of the forum but couldn't find an answer so I'm availing myself of your advice.

Trying to encourage my gf in her desire to lead sport climbs (she's a great second on trad) and we're looking for a sport crag (or crags near to one another) where I can jump on intermediate stuff (5.10 - 11+) and she can clip beginner bolts (5.7 - 5.9 range)... or something like that.

Much appreciated.

Phantasia - you can hop on creep show/count floyd show, and she can roll up lord of the flies, twinkie, overlord, pogue ethics, etc...

Thanks @tyler.yarbrough

Sounds good for me. With the exception of LOTF, the other routes you mention for my beginner GF go at 10b - 12a (according to the online guide). Is the guide wrong? Thx,.

Don't go to Phantasia. Go to Crossroads

you could try the shire. 7,8,9 all in a row and a few mid to upper 10s, plus you are a five second hike to north 40.

OK... will do a little research on Crossroads and the Shire... and North 40. Been to RRG before, but it's been awhile. Appreciate any additional suggestions.

Bruise brothers is your wall. Some tall 10's for you, easy short bolted routes for her. Bring a rack if you want to have a tall, easy trad line to yourself (amongst the crowd).

They're all wrong. Darkside or Hamptons Wall is where it's at. And if those aren't tickling your fancy go to Roadside or Torrent. They're both open to the public now!

sore heel hollow parking provides access to many individual crags, including the shire and the gallery, both have easy leads and the mix.
