best easy trad routes at the Red

Post by olive »

So, I am a new trad leader and I want to get more pitches in this fall. I have been doing some 5.6s and 5.7s. What are some good 5.8s and (more 5.7s) that you would suggest? I guess for the 5.8s I am looking for things that are not too tricky, but still good.
Thanks for the help...

Try Snake at Fortress Wall. There are a bunch of easier routes there to warm up on too.
Busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest.

+1 for Whiteout - it long and fun with lots of rest.
I've been a gumby longer than you've been climbing.

Listen to the Captain, for he is wise, and definitely pay Fortress a visit.
The only escape is up.

Five finger discount at Roadside is a personal favorite (If you've got skinny fingers...)
