Undone Sport Routes at the Red?

Post by **One-Fall** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 4:09 am

SCIN's question about unrepeated sport climbs in the Red got me thinking about the ones that have never gotten done. All I can think of are:

50 Words for Pump
Skeletor
Chunnel
JM's 14's at GC
SK's 14 at Torrent
Pink Sock

Can you think of anyothers?

What about Blake's route above Penelty Box?

Wes,

Your right... I don't think Power Play has been done.

Astroman,

The line left of UltraPerm is 50 Words for Pump.

How can someone name a route if it has never been climbed?

I guess there are two ways to look at it:

1) Who ever sends it firsts gets to name it.

2) Who ever took the time to clean it and put the steel in the wall gets to name it.

This could be another good topic. Andy, do you agree with 1? or 2?

I think it should be up to the FA. If he feels that the person who put the hardware into the climb should share in the name then so be it. I would assume that if your sending undone 13's and 14's that your naming enough climbs of your own, one more isn't really going to make a difference.

Isn't there a route left of Take That Katie Brown that hasn't been done yet. It looks impossible to me.

Yeh, I think they dubbed it "Take that Shawn Bradley".

Has the arete at Bob Marley been sent? What about the original Dogleg route?
