If they let me set Wes I'll see what I can do for you.

How about some right hand jug / left hand sloper action ?

lack of funds and a hate of the indoors keep me outta gyms. plus plastic only makes you strong, rock makes your technique better and get stronger.

Sure, but it's good to have both. I work power during the weekdays and technique/endurance on the weekends (real rock). It seems to be a good mix. It would be nice to have some real boulders though to boulder on during the week. That's the only thing the Red lacks.

It's lacking in the long multipitch dept. to. I guess its a trade off for having a lifetime of great routes.

i agree with you on the lack of real boulders in the red worth climbing. we also lack big walls, definitely need some big walls.

Speaking of long routes in the Red...
Have you done The Quest? If not, you have to man. The winter is the best time.

really? i might look into that.

It's the Red's "mini" big-wall. Three pitches, hanging belay at 200 feet with nothing but air beneath you. Exposed.

Pitch 1: Technical then a powerful roof.
Pitch 2: Enduring corner to a hanging belay
Pitch 3: Roof traverse to a squeeze chimney/offwidth.

i can't wait for the offwidth.

Post by **SCIN** » Fri Jan 16, 2004 3:46 pm

The offwidth part isn't bad at all. Probably like 5.9/5.10 and only 25 feet. #3-#4 Camalots.
