im just beginning leading and need to improve. Ive led most of the popular/easy 5.7, 5.8 in roadside left flank torrent, just wondering what some peoples opinions are of some other fun 5.8s to 5.9s besides in torrent, roadside, left flank are. I not any damn 5.10 leader yet so if you suggest a 5.10a make sure the crux isant within decking range, my ankles would appreciate it.
Thanks pete

you need to do moonbeam and sunshine at military

pistol ridge has a few short ones. i remember the nine being exciting.

oh and drop the anchor at sky bridge is fun. however go with a ropegun cause that place has tons and tons of harder rad stuff.

Go to rebel Branch at muir. There are several easy leads there.

In my opinion, most of the nines in the red are as hard as the the 10a's. If you can lead brother stair, jump for joy, and creature feature - you can probably lead defy the laws...etc. Rebel branch does have some good easy routes also.

please stay away from brother stair.. if it remains vacant for long enough, we can issue a petition to have it blown off the rock. thank you

i don't understand how people think sunshine and moonbeam are good lines. i thought they were choss piles of aqward move with no flow to them at all. i should take that back, i only got on sunshine which i was told was a better line than moonbeam and made up my mind that i had no desire to get on moonbeam.

hey petey...ive been climbing for about 2 yrs...but just started leading outside

down in muir valley at rebel camp hollow there are 2 9's...one i did the other we didn't have time for...if you hike down there and people are there they will let you know exactly which ones they are...there are also 2 extremely short 8's that are super easy and a longer 7 that's supposed to be good...but that's about all you'll find on that stretch of the wall.

I think sunshine and moonbeam are pumpy and stressful...maybe good for the next weekend...they are at military btw

i wish i could tell you about the stuff at oil crack etc but...well it's closed...

oh and i agree that there isn't much difference bt a 10a/b and 9's in the red...mostly end up just being longer it seems...

and if you want to try a really easy 10...there's one right next to one of the 9's down in rch

She thinks we're pumpy.

I think she meant to say "pumping". You boys are gross!

Manic Impression is a good first 5.10.

Chimp is too. Get on Put Me in the Zoo at the Zoo, low crux, well-protected.
