Favorite Off Beat Sport Climb

Post by **Power2U** » Fri Jun 06, 2003 1:23 pm

This year I have been on Way Up Yonder, The Mule & Luck's up and have enjoyed them all. They catch is that 99% of the climbing population will tell you these are terrible climbs. In my opinion they are all pretty fun...especially Way Up Yonder and Mule. I was just wondering what your favorite off the beaten track sport climb is...doesn't matter...5.7 or 5.13.

Mule is an awesome route, a complete mix of everything-dihedral, overhanging face, roofs and the best part is there is no chalk tellling you where to go which means there is some routefinding!

From the lack of chalk and interest, it felt like I bagged the 2nd ascent of Nolo Contendre since it was put up. I don't even think people know it exists. The bottom moves are as cool as any boulder problem.
2nd pitch of Way up Yonder rocks. Loose rock? Nope.
The Mule is cool as hell. Loose rock? Nope.
Paddy O'Keefe's Walking Shoes is cool and bouldery.
Martin Rides Again. Man, what a cool route. Why the lack of interest? Not sure.

Sounds good. I need to get up to Sky Bridge more and I will definitely try Martin & Nolo. As for Paddy O'Keefe's I am not familiar with this route and didn't see it in the online guide. Care to shed any more light?

Are you serious on Eric & Bryans? I thought you were just kidding on that post you made on this route last month.

Man I walked around the cliff at MIlitary looking for Etrier & Daisy Chain and couldn't find them. They must be way the hell back there!

Etrier,Daisy chain , Lucks Up are good off beat routes . also the gladulator isnt bad just not very long. oh and sick puppies is good also. the best way to get etrier and daisychain is park at first pull off on right side of the road just past hairpin curve. then bushwack straight across angling a little to the right.

ray tore it up on Nole. I was very impressed. Sick hard boulder moves down low to some even more henous hidden holds above. That boy can shred.
I always like to get on Back Door to Paris @ Longwall.
