Dan_Petersen Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 I finally got my son to ropegun for me at Fee Demo today. Thanks to the developers for putting all the work in. We groveled up the first pitch of the two "center" 5.10s and were spit off the beautiful center dike line at the third bolt a number of times. It was great fun trying, but we didn't bring enough Zen. This old guy thinks the run-outs are very old skool, which is a compliment, although the grousing you would have heard during the afternoon might make you doubt that statement. Be sure to read the fine print about the required TCU's. Alan was looking at a way long grinder on the upper reaches of one of these routes because we came unprepared. #1's and #2's are recommended. Again, thanks to the developers and a for the area. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 I think the FDW has the best quality slab rock in Washington. Except for the .10b that is really harder than everything else, I thought that the routes weren't very runout. The 10b was significantly more runout than the other routes even with TCU's. Leading it w/o TCUs must have kept you on your toes! Scary! But after you do the crux you are kinda committed I think if it was me leading I'd still be up there crying. PP Quote
