Christian Brothers Traverse

 

Good suggestions, Skyclimb.

trezlar. you can avoid the crap first pitch by climbing the new 10ish super-long sporto route to the left on the face, then rap over to the start of the stellar second pitch and build an anchor.

[redneck_rocker]

Trezlar is stellar and worth doing. climb cosmos .10a bolts for the first pitch and then trezlar .10a gear for the second.

Peking is also another good climb

[iain]

whereever I may roam has become such a trade route it is best to avoid on the weekends, esp. since the standard rap line uses some of the anchors on the route itself. team climbs up to anchors, team raps down to same anchors, hilarity ensues.

marsupials traverse. 7p. 5.8

[Gripped]

sky ridge(hand traverse!) .8R

Sky Ridge is not quite as run out as it used to be. Someone rebolted the first pitch (Thanks!)

 

You do have to leave the first belay and scramble/climb some loose chossy stuff without pro (easy climbing), but now, when you get to that first bolt, it's solid. (The first couple bolts used to be really scary.)

 

 

The Second Pitch is stellar

We did this route on saturday and were the only ones on the route, a second party was just starting up when we hit the ground. most people have not bought the little red supplement guide book so they do not know about it. Do it now before word really gets out.

I was out there about a month ago checking out various climbs on the West side and folks where taking numbers to get on "roam" the line was so long. not to mention the 4 groups that were already on route.

[b-rock]

You should put Monkey Face (w/ West Face variation) on the list! (unless you've already done it and that's why you don't want it on the list...)

Round river direct is a cool 2p. It's in the red book. On a hot crowded day, hike up and do that route in the late morning in the shade, then walk off around to the other side and find the ampitheatre with the awesome juggy overhanging sport routes (10s & 11). Or you can do the cave route which I haven't done, that threads a needle through a cool looking natural feature. That one gets sun all day though.

 

Beta about a runout bolted 5.8:

first kiss is not runout. It has just as many bolts as any other smith route I have done, in fact on some pitches I think I skipped a few cause I didn't have enough runners.

Everything everybody has mentiond, plus "Free Lunch". Its some way wild position with just about every kind of climbing (face, thin crack, offwidth) going right up Parking Lot (Picnic Lunch) Wall. Wear a helmet, it doesn't get climbed much.

[Rev_D._Wayne_Love]

Zebra Zion for sure!!!!!!!!

What about The Oregon Death Tour ?

[goatboy]

Unexpected delight: 2nd pitch of Crack of Infinity -- glorious locking handjams on steep terrain (5.8-ish)

[barkernews]

gotta vote for wherever i may roam.

But there's a loose bolt and hangar at the third belay...

round river's ok too... but the descent is a bitch

[skyclimb]

On white Satin, there is a 10b direct for the second pitch. It is a stellar crimp fest that takes a direct line from the ledge to the base of the third pitch.

Highly Recommended.

Zebra Zion

Peking

Moscow

Tale of two shitties

Super Slab

Spiderman

Sundown then continue up a .10a sport pitch to the right of minos morgul

Brogan Spire

Anything on testament slab and then continue up crazy zigzag pitches, for extra spice traverse to crack (pro in pockets) and climb up to the priest summit .9 to .10a ish.

My husband and I climbed this route a week ago on a Sunday. No wait. There was a group at the top of the route. The standard rappel actually avoids the climbing route. The guidebook recommends rapping off the other side (for the first rap). There was one couple behind us, but no one else on the route. Excellent route- I highly recommend it.
