fenderfour Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I was planning on taking some semi-climbing friends to Barney's Rubble and Bruce's Boulder this weekend, but it looks like the Mounties will be gapin up the scene. Any other suggestions for good TR routes for beginners? I was thinking about Domestic Dome. It has a few easier (or is it moderate?) 5.6 to 5.9 routes. -spanks y'all. BTW - if you are out there this weekend look for me. I'm the tall (6'3") gaper with a red beard and piercings. You can find me at the Eightmile campground. Just look for the Green Subaru Outback with an obnoxious amount of climbing stickers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt_3pin Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Clamshell Cave is pretty nice. A few easily top roped climbs in the 5.7-5.9 range. Also, Mad Meadows and Arnica Glen have nice easy slab.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideT61 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Playground Point is great for beginners. Several routes in the 5'5 to 5.9 range and a reasonble approach. It is in the new guide. The traihead is just downstream from hammerhead rock/the hand area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jja Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 If you go to domestic dome do the 5.6 BS for some scary (for the grade), sometimes sandy slab to a big ledge. Couple of options for a second pitch include a 5.4 route to an obvious tree, or Underachiever a nice 5.8 with fun stem moves between a couple of flakes and a bolted slab finish. There is also a wide crack up there at something like 5.8, I think it's called snag crack(?) - didn't do that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Little Bridge Creek Rock, 5.7-5.8; Planet of the Eights, 5.8-5.8+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot'teryx Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Planet of the eights is an awful place! Little Bridge Creek Rock is pretty cool. Mad Meadows is a great beginner place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
