dumb routes

Post by Paul3eb »

so enough with all the favorite routes and climbs and yada yada.. let's be honest: some climbs just suck the big one. and i mean really suck it.. i mean it's a shame that you can't have that time back from your life. what do you consider to be some of the worst routes in the red?

surprise - brother stair (left flank)
smack dab (the gallery)
wadcutter (torrent)
dream of a bee (torrent)
and great loves will one day have to part -smashing pumpkins

I second Mercy, Miss Percy. Then there's also Mighty Eidson.

Creature Feature? Really? I really enjoyed that route.
Brother Stair sucked...I agree with that one. But maybe it's b/c it kicked my ass.

I kinda like Wadcutter, Brother Stair and Creature Feature.

The *dumbest* route I have done in recent memory is "You can tune a panio, but you can't tuna fish". And it wasn't all that bad.

Sunshine awkward waste of time.
"Thought It Was Bubbles" 5.8R is worse!

Tune a piano, but you can't tuna a fish. Was fun, undercling mid way and side pull up high were cool when you found them.

Wadcutter's okay but scary. I don't like Brother's Stair or Creature Feature. I can do without Lord Of the Flies, C Sharp or B Flat, and other routes. But I can respect why many people like them.

I can't make a move on Wadcutter. My head just shuts me down on that thing!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.
