No, You're just retarded if you go straight up when all previous ascents have gone to the right and taken (God Help Me) The path of least resistance.stix wrote:are we talking about the moves up high on cell block? not the long move around the middle with multiple types of beta. there is no way that route is 12c if you go right between the last 2 bolts. harder or not those are the best moves on cell block and twinkie. worth workin the routes that way for sure
I am not sure why that would make you 'retarded'. To me its all about the easiest possible way. I thought it was easier to undercling (with the right feet) up to the two finger pocket. The path of least resistance for one person, will not be the same for another.MSMITH wrote:No, You're just retarded if you go straight up when all previous ascents have gone to the right and taken (God Help Me) The path of least resistance.stix wrote:are we talking about the moves up high on cell block? not the long move around the middle with multiple types of beta. there is no way that route is 12c if you go right between the last 2 bolts. harder or not those are the best moves on cell block and twinkie. worth workin the routes that way for sure
There is no right way to do a route.
ha ha, dana, this is lame.... i say use it!
and i have to weigh in on the draw thing... i am definitely guilty of that, if i am unable to reach the draw to clip it from where everyone else does. i don't climb around cruxes, but i like to give myself the same advantages as everyone else. why should i have to clip off a shitty hold just because taller people can reach the draw from a low hold? i think it just levels the playing field....

Courtesy of Andrew: "I don't think you will damage your escort unless she trips because she is so strung out on blow. Most people just take them to the rest area."
If there is a large hold which can be reached by traversing more than horatio_fill_in_the_blank feet then it just means the line is of lesser quality. The best lines don't have any "traverse to a hold which may be considered "off"" jazz on them.

i can do the moves out that way no problem. i fell up there and was lookin for good beta for that section and started headin that way on the horizontal, kept goin and did those moves first go (they're easy). it took me a coupla goes off the hang to go straight up to the 2 finger. i thought the line way better, more fun, more continuous, and more accurate for the grade goin straight up so i kept tryin that way till i did it.

you and michelle both cheat on that line, SCIN....the original version went straight up to a crappy 2 finger pocket on big moves to the ledge...now, we all traverse right and make the moves...not any easier IMO.SCIN wrote:I'm completely lost on this Cell Block 6 thing.
