TimL Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 (edited) Anybody climb this route before? It looks good but I've heard mixed reviews. Some say its ran out and hard while others say its awesome. Anybody have an opinion...beta? RuMR? E-Rock? Edited March 9, 2004 by TimL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distel32 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 heard the first pitch is supposed to good, 12a I think?? Rumr was talking about it with DFA a few months ago, don't know what thread it was in. I think they said upper pitches were pretty scary and hard.....? That right?

Peter_Puget Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Over by La Siesta? If so it is pretty good. I liked all those climbs ( at least the first pitches) in that area. Did it a long time ago so it is hard to remember. I don't think it is runout, but I thought Spartacus was mid 11 when I climbed it the first time andf you know what happened last time I was on it!

RuMR Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 I've done the first pitch hwy 97 before...i think it was .11c but has since broken and is checking in at 11+ or 12- now....there are other pitches in the 12c to 12 d range above...dunno about them though... Distel, i think the route that you are thinking about is 5 ez pieces...i talked w/ the mighty dfa about those a couple of times...he was just inquiring about them over at smithrock.com the other week also, so he maybe has gotten on them by now...the first pitch of that is good as well....

TimL Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 I know. You down graded all those pitches in your old handy dandy Smith rock guide that I still need to return to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
