maryk Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Partner and I are heading over tonight but have a bad case of indecisiveness. Plus, neither of us know a ton about the routes out there and I forgot to bring my books to work with me -- so, I'm hoping y'all can throw out a few good options. We're hoping to avoid the more popular, crowded routes, but looking for something moderate. Nothing much over 10b would be nice, but something more relaxing would be...well....more relaxing. How's: * North Face of Burgundy – what does that go at? Cool? * South Butt of Cutthroat is 5.8, I think. Good route? * Have been hearing a bit about Spontaniety Arete-Le Petit Cheval, and downloaded the scribbled topo. Thoughts? * East Face of Chianti (aka Rebel Yell) looks quite popular but not sure what that’s rated either. Thanks for the beta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hike to col; climb Burgundy (5.8). Spend night. Day 2 climb Chianti (5.10-). Hike out. If you are fast you can do both in a day (if not all 4 spires). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 N F Burgundy 5.8 cool but routefinding is a little harder so take a few topos. Burdo's topo is good. Cuthroat not worth your time Rebel Yell is mid 5.10, wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
