Spring Crowds

Post by **Huggybone** » Thu Apr 07, 2005 1:51 pm

With all the new crags this year, I'm noticing some popular crags conspicuously empty. Except for military and left flank, I have encountered no crowds in the gorge proper. Everyone is climbing in the souther regions.

What places do you notice as getting crowded?

driveby was busy a couple weeks ago but it only takes 8 people to make that place busy.

'Gorge proper' means areas within, and very close to, the RRG geological area. Pretty much anything north of slade as far as maribia fork.

now we know..posters on here should not climb at muir, roadside, left flank or military if we truly care about over crowding.
