bigwalling Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 I want to try this route solo soon. Anybody got any beta on it. Gear list? Also anybody done the golden arch or chicken mcnuggets on the upper wall? Quote
Matt_Anderson Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Awesome route, It goes clean, with micro nuts, hooks, cam hooks and a standard free climbing rack up to a #4 camalot. The second pitch corner is GREEEEAAAT (first time I used cam hooks). As I recall, one of the last pitches was the most challenging, I had to move in and out of my aiders, some of the placements on that pitch were interesting. Trip report when you get back, please! matt Quote
Yos Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Few big cams & HB Offsets in particular. Hammer to remove common booty. Tradition is for soloist climbers to leave a film canister with some swag for the next party(w/ matches). Quote
DCramer Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Some of the cracks can be wet even after a few days of sun. You might want to consider that when deciding on attire. As far as booty goes I would leave fixed pins fixed. Green Dragon has many section s of free climbing and several people have worked on freeing parts of the remaining aid sections. On several occasions climbers have returned for free attempts only to find critical pins removed. Quote
NoToes Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 As I remember the coner pitch (2nd pitch) can be quite slimy and wet......I recall being saturated to the bone, perhaps bring rain gear for that pitch and then toss you rain gear back to the bottom? Or just wait untill the whole route is dry.....a novel idea, but probably worth the wait. Have fun. Quote
Yos Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 The fixed pins on Green Drag-on are not considered booty (some are cracking anyway), leave them be. Second pitch is very slimy when wet. However, you can jump over to Town Crier if you are sick of getting covered in liquid moss. Remember to leave some shake at the top of the third pitch. It will protected from the elements by a large roof. Quote
pope Posted March 20, 2002 Posted March 20, 2002 Those of us in the know call it the "Lime Lizard". It parallels another excellent route called the "Village Whiner". Quote
