layton Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 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? Quote
lancegranite Posted January 10, 2004 Author Posted January 10, 2004 Take any climb from list A Now, take any climb from list B Skake violently. let settle. Quote
Dru Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 what about epinephrine - res arete in a day, punk? Quote
layton Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I shook it violently, but now my key5vadeoard iae akll stikcyer Quote
lummox Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 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.

dylan_taylor Posted January 24, 2004 Posted January 24, 2004 a helicopter would be handy for saving the knees. Quote
lancegranite Posted January 25, 2004 Author Posted January 25, 2004 We were tripping on trail running the entire enscarpment in a day. good training!... park a car at White Springs, run to Hwy. 159. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 What about the Sissy Traverse, punters? Linx up SIX diff'rent routes, saves the bizzie for the finnie, ooh-aah! Quote
lancegranite Posted December 26, 2004 Author Posted December 26, 2004 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! Quote
JoshK Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Epilution...VI 5.11/5.10 A1 (40 pitches) FA...up for grabs. Am I missing somethign? I thought routes went unnamed until the got a FA? Quote
JensHolsten Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 A couple freinds of mine did quite the proud link-up in Red Rocks this winter...Levitation 29, Cloud Tower, and Epinepherine all in under 24 hours. If you've done these routes you know the crux was all that hiking. Quote
wildbillc Posted December 29, 2004 Posted December 29, 2004 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. Quote
