LF a catch June 10, 11 or 12

Post by rushthezeppelin »

My home rock is Austin Texas limestone. I'm on family vacation in the gorge this week and was hoping to find a catch foot my first time on sandstone. Generally I red point 5.10-5.11 and project up to 5.13 roof routes. Have 10 draws and a 60m 9.8mm rope.

I project up to 5.16 so I don't think it will work out, sorry homes.

Not trying to brag or anything just trying to find somebody who can do the same routes. And when I say project up to 13s I'm talking about being able to get about a quarter of the way down a pure pump fest 60' 13 roof route (look up Pay at the Pump at Reimers Ranch), not a 65* techy crimpy route (although I'm pretty good on crimpers). And honestly maybe the Austin stuff is abit sand bagged compared to this stuff, I don't know as that is the only place I've climbed. I just want to go out and have fun climbing some world class routes...

Crompy only projects dirty 5.16 slabs so you guys could probably work something out... put him on a limestone roof and he barely projects 5.12.

Hey man,

I lived in Texas for a couple years and now I am living at the red. I climbed around Austin pretty frequently. Most of the routes I climbed were extremely short and felt more like a couple of stacked boulder problems. I don't think the routes are sandbagged at all...especially at Reimers Ranch. If you want to get some pitches in, pm me. I hope you have some endurance...
