Since no one talks about climbing on here anymore... What is the best 11c sport route in the RRG?

No Place Like Home.

what made you choose 11c?

I liked "There Goes the Neighborhood" at Funk Rock. you gotta earn the grade and its just powerful and fun.

"Fallen Angel" at Purgatory was fun, but nothing special about it. really straight forward.

Could we instate a mandatory hold brushing for each person that climbs (or rather flails) that eyesore?


As for 11c, No Place Like Home gets my vote.

haha, since you broght it up, I'd like to digress for a moment...

I may be alone in this, but i really dont ever get on AWOL because I have never climbed it and said "you kow what, I'm glad i warmed up on this." I MUCH prefer to warm up on Pulling Pockets. At 10d I find it WAY easier. Perhaps because i am tall and can esesentially just bump off the crappy crimp to the jugs above?

Just thought I would add that thought. Anyone with me?

Why did I pick 11c, because there are a lot of them, and they often get overlooked.

Banshee is a pretty good 11c.

i'm short, but can still bump from the crimp. pulling pockets is definetly a better climb tho.
