Nightcrawler and Black Dagger is another good one. Also good: Ginger Cracks, Unimpeachable Groping, Power Failure!

 

Res Arete and Levitation 29 seems somewhat longish, but I guess you could do it? I'd be too pumped to do it thats for sure. Some of those link ups seem pretty random? What was your criteria?

i done crappy appleton and edge of the sun one afternoon. pretty damn fun.

but the best linkup i ever done was a slow bang with a woman i love right when i woke up then breakfast at the rio then a leisure hike to frogland then climbing frogland then wathcing the moonrise then some beer and dinner and shower and back to bed for more loving. that was a good day.

A late season recon up the Crabby Appleton gully to investigate a hunch.

This watercourse takes an exciting line up the western side of Magic mtn.

4th and 5th class scrambling leads to loose talus and finally, a small pass.

 

My hunch was true!

The top of Olive Oil was 50 feet away.... this means that a savy Olive Oil team can drop down to any of the popular long routes in the south fork of Pine creek in a matter of 20-30 minutes.

Tired from the hike, I find a sheltered spot and fall asleep in the sun...dog dreams again!

Many of those are impressive routes to be done alone in a day, Impressive link ups. I used to go to red rocks and climb as many routes as I could per day, after 3 days of hard climbing my trip was pretty much over. Now days I take a week and start out slow, take warm up day of easy sport, a long multi pitch route, a rest day, hard multi pitch day... My objective is to get alot of routes in durring the whole trip, but then I am just a mortal climber.
