Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 Any of you PDX clowns got some recommendations for trad roots 5.10 or easier at Broughton's? No runouts or long approaches, please. Quote
iain Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 classic crack (could be arguably 5.10 now in my opinion) Quote
b-rock Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 I think there is all of like 4 sub 10 trad lines at Broughton, and all somewhat sandbagged in my limited experience. The Hammer and the Sickle are two on the Left Hanging Gardens wall - fun columnar basalt followed by a .7 and .8 offwidth respectively. They always kick my ass. Classic crack is great though polished smooth and a real bitch. All can be easily top roped too. Haven't climbed it yet, but Gandalf's Grip looks like a fun 3 pitch 5.9 too. Quote
sketchfest Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 First pitch of Sheer Stress .10a. I'd say that the only real .10a part of that climb is the first 15-20 feet (gear placements can be ackward) then it's fairly easy steps and a fun move around the arete to the chains. I suppose pump could be a factor near the end, but I'm sure that DFA would never experience such a thing as that. Quote
