I think Long Wall, or maybe Funk ROck! Those would be fun with crutches! No, seriously, you know, there is a cool little place near Funk Rock called Campstore Crag. The approach is really short. There are only two routes and a scary boulder problem, but they are good routes! It is a little gravelly road right back tot he climbs, if I remember correctly...

The sore heal crags (left field, playground, shady grove) are all easy to get to.

Thanks to all. It seems I have options I hadn't thought of before now.

I was at the zoo last weekend. Trail is overgrown and steep to begin with. I would be pissed if you took me there on crutches...

Wes has done the Sore Heel approach on crutches before.
I'd concur that if you don't want to go to the other obvious choice, Torrent (which I did on cruches), then it would be a good bet.

I would NOT recomment the Zoo. I think that was meant as a joke.

What about Beer Trailer Crag?

pistol ridge, pebble beach and purple valley - and indian creek. oh yeah...the crutch thing. Friction Slab

Thanks.

PM us when you are coming and we'll be happy to ATV your teenager from the parking lot to the base of the BruiseBrothers Wall or Joe Ponder Hollow and back. (Muir Valley.)

Now there ya go!

I'd agree with Wes. Sore heel crags are the flatest approaches after Torrent, especially if you drop your buddy off right at the trail head.
