Hardest Routes in the RED

Post by **MattG** » Mon Nov 18, 2002 4:08 pm

ha ha, so i lied, i want to talk about hard routes again. but, this time trad. someone brought up the subject in my "sport" post so i figured i'd compile a list here too. i guess SCIN would be a good person to ask since it sounds like he has put up some hard ass shit. i have NO idea about what hard trad routes are in the red, so can anyone name some? i know of "country lovin" from reading other posts, but what are some other ones

I guess Kentuck and Mr. Jones are up there til I get a chance to downrate them.

so how many numbers does a route's grade lose after you climb it?

Post by **Johnny** » Mon Nov 18, 2002 8:56 pm

I can't climb 12 so it has to be under that.

nice
i like that theory of climbing

I gonna have to use that theory
I always find it tough to give an accurate assessment of a route when somebody ask's how hard it is.

There is a route called Five Finger Discount at a super platinum secret stealth crag that beyond a doubt is the hardest trad route in the red. (or anywhere else in the world) It would make you sick to your stomach just to look at it so they keep a big tree in front of it and people pretend that it's not there so they don't puke.

That is the kind of enthusiasm found in the ninja website.
