Can you guys please recommend some classic trad lines in the red? I've been down there once before and did Rock Wars and that 9 to left of it (forget the name). Anyways any recommendations for your favorite gear lines in the 10 to 11- range would be appreciated. My preference is for crags away from the sport masses.
Thanks.

Tradisfaction at the Stadium area - Muir Valley. Absolutely isolated from sport routes. Not yet a classic but will be.

TRADISFACTION AND TRADISFACTION AGAIN! DO IT TELL YOUR ARMS FALL OFF!
CRACK ATTACK AT INDIAN CREEK AND WHERE LIZARDS DARE AT FORTRESS ARE AWESOME ROUTES AS WELL

Party Time at Fortress. Not a 10, but a super nice climb and a great view at the top.

Tradisfaction is good....but while isolated from sporties....also isolated from much other good trad.
Crack Attack is stupid. Only do the first move...its the only one that counts.
Lizards Dare is good, but there will be 793 bumblies at the crag.
For the best trad in the area, go to Lexington Rocks...its traditional gym climbing, meaning that it doesn't exist. At all.
Go to Hens Nest. Sultans of stem is a good 9. Finger Lickin is a good 10. Astroflex is a good 10. The Edge is the best nonbolted 11 in the Red, and my vote for the arete most deserving of bolts. Close To The Edge is good. Masters of the Universe is good. Theres a steep scary 10c thats stellar. Plus, best of all, you'll see not a soul, unless you see Don Fig sitting in his purgatory/truck at the parking area waiting for someone to rescue someone for him so he can get paid for it.
Bye again.
