What is your least favorite sport crag?

The zoo is another one of my least favorite crags. I've heard that it has cleaned up some in the last 5 years, but about 5 years ago Pigsteak and I were there and I pulled off a huge hold that just missed piggies head

It was on one of the more popular 5.11's

The Zoo hasn't changed.

I think Mt. Olive is up there for ugly. Besides South Side of the Sky, that wall is pretty ugly, loud when cars are driving by, and just nothing special.

I agree with the Zoo.

I forgot about Mt. Olive.

I think I would agree with Global for sport. I thought Disappearer was pretty cool, though.

The rock quality at the Zoo definitely lowers its appeal....although the two short steep 12a's Hippocrite and the one to its right make up for a lot as they are bullet proof. Hey and the fact that it is super shady in the summer doesn't hurt either.

I agree with Ray too, as the Solar Collector has that terrible grid bolted sameness to it that is pretty uninspiring...even though some of the lines there are OK.

These two crags get my vote as least favorite sport crags at the Red.

Solar Collector does suck....but what about Police Brutality. hmm that was cool.

The zoo definitely sucks....Hipocrit is awsome.

Global is a gumby trad area...Out for Justice is my favorite 11 face climb.

Purple Valley kinda stinks....But Come in your Lycra has those little perfect crimpers, and you have to admit that Electric Cowboy is a cool name.

It is all good. But I would say that Pistol Ridge has my least memorable sport routes.

Pistol Ridge because there's only 4 sport routes and it's a really long, steep hike up there. The routes aren't that bad, it's just not worth it to hike all that way for just the sport routes.
