Crawling around on your knees,creative anchors,runouts,some mud and roots,a little rotten rock,a sqeeze chimney,not knowing how youre gonna get down,forgetting a nut tool,yup thats adventure climbing at its best.Kind of describes Foxfire and Nevermore too.

Thats the bvd traverse. I just stepped across there.Took a little nerve but it was easy.Theres no floor and its really rotten where JB is standing.I made the mistake of having the rope to the right of that tiny tree and it caused horrible rope drag on the traverse.Looks like you did the same and ran those 2 pitches together,JB. It's a cool picture taken at the point where you start noticing the exposure.

right on ynot, but don't forget negotiating with a copperhead for a belay ledge.

That pic was taken by my belayer. I would never run pitch 2 and 3 together. I put in the piece up high to keep the rope outta the tree. I also put in a #4 stopper right where the traverse starts. It's like 5.1 or 5.2, but scary fun.

Most guidebooks have each pitch rated. Why not here? I know the pitches are short but still... Do these sound about right? Full Moon 5.7 5.7 5.4 Nevermore 5.5 5.6 5.8 5.9 and ?(I jugged the top and bottom of the last pitch) Diamond in the Crack and Bonzo are consistent 5.6s Foxfire 5.7(If you dont chimney the tree) 5.5 5.0 The last 3 ??
Anyone care to rate Party Time and Whiteout? I know theres more.

the first pitch of Party Time sucks compared to the second, I know that!

I looked through the guide for multipitch.There are lots of 2 pitch routes and lots of low quality 3 and 4 pitch.Sometimes its hard to tell from the description just how many.Think i'll just figure it out for myself when I do them.

If you want some Real adventure climbing. Take a hike up to Teeth Butress. only oe climb in the book there and everything is almost two pitches.
