willstrickland Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Resolution Arete - Red Rocks (screwed up the approach once, moved too slow once, wrong partner once) This one is still high on my "to-do" list. It's just a long (about 20 pitches) fairly continuous trad route with a good even distribution of pitches...about 1/4 5.7, 1/4 5.8, 1/4 5.9, 1/4 5.10, and a short mid .11 roof crux.

MysticNacho Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I've failed on Town Crier 3 times. First time we bailed from halfway up because of no other reason besides I had to go to work. Second we got weathered off when it started pouring. I went through a streak of poor partners after that. They'd stare at the upper wall from the general store parking lot and say "Uhh...... let's go free climbing instead." Then I decided to try soloing it, but after doing the whole clove hitch thing up the first pitch, I decided that solo-aid climbing just ain't that much fun. I vow to return with either a partner or a haulbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATT_B Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Galens crack in T-meadows. It is a 30 foot top rope OW crack that has shut me down too many times. Maybe next time . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can aid the roof. Bring drops or iodine, there is a small creek near the top on the descent for some much needed H2O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal_Burton Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I backed off Tatanka in RedRocks after taking a couple healthy whips and realizing I didn't have the efficiency or skillz to solo aid quick enough. Went back few years later to tick it off. Long, half-day 4th class approach to shuttle shite into the canyon; and you get to do that twice. Sweet overhanging 1200 ft wall. Couldn't believe I had had the sack to attempt it before. Spent 3 days on it and topped out with no problems. Total isolation apart from the glow of Vegas No current nemisi, need to set my sights higher and fail more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iconoclast/Hyperspace fits 1,2,3 Grand Wall fits 1,2, 4 Sagitarius fit #3 for long time, but I sent it ( ) a couple of weeks ago (only to the ringing flake though ).

sk Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 oh and Ginger Snap at Smiff. I have backed off a lead atempt on that climb I think 3 times I clip the first bolt, and after that all I can see is my own death. I think I have let that one go though SOME things are just better left un-done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
