right on fuck everyone. passive aggressive? i was just telling people what i thought of the place. yeah i made up the statistics, but only to show that gym climbers are a lower form of human than other climbers. fuck you pussy gym climber. they were gay rules and i haven't been back since. fuck this shit.

i would just like to say (I was there last night) that LR is slowly washing it's holds one wall at a time. It was mentioned that all of their route setters are just getting back into town...

I haven't been to LR before. Do they have many boulder problems around the V0-V2 range? What about TR from 5.10-5.11?

Last time I was there (pre-thanksgiving), and one of the things that really sold me on the place was the number of easy to moderate problems. Esp. that there were a bunch of them that weren't just left-right-left stuff. The setters are really good, the problems very cool. And the pad setup super nice. Plus, there usually is a great vibe and lots of energy.

One a side note, I really like gym climbing. Not more the outside, but I will pick a two hours gym session of a full day of climbing in crappy conditions any time. For me, climbing is all about the movement, the medium is less important.

Thanks for the info, Wes. While the medium is important to me (outside over plastic in almost every situation), the weather is not cooperating.
I was hoping to start climbing there in Feb 2-3 times a week for one month doing back to back moderate problems. I want to try to have some modicum of endurance when the season starts back up again.

What are the days that the regulars go?

i must also recommend...for training...that LR has a tread-wall...i am still sore (sat) and i worked out on in thur night...granted i havent been climbing but once or twice in the last couple of months...but dang i felt like i was in the Red headed up a 9 or so about 3 times right in a row.

LR is gettting WAY too expensive though...otherwise I'd climb there all the time
I don't think they realize that they get less in the long run by making prices higher now.

seems like there USED to be a lot of easy to moderate problems at LR...but everything is so greasy I'd say the lowest is V3

More walls are coming down in the bouldering area. Hopefully they'll all be down by tomorrow and the setters set then.

you'll have to do the unthinkable and put on your "package acentuator" and find a partner or hit the tread wall.
