bolt_clipper Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 Zebra Zion at smith. Dihedrals, thin to hands, nice belay ledges, clean cracks, last pitch is exposed, steep, and cruiseable-like 5.8 layback. Awesome. Alpine stuff, especially direct couloirs on nice mountiains-Bell Cord Couloir on Maroon Peak in Colorado comes to mind. Quote
TimL Posted October 30, 2002 Author Posted October 30, 2002 I climbed Go Dog Go at Smith last weekend and thought the position of the climb and the direct line up the overhanging headwall was really cool. Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 Go Dog is a kick in the ass. That thing should get way more traffic. Quote
TimL Posted October 30, 2002 Author Posted October 30, 2002 Yeah, Go Dog is pretty awesome. Watched my friend send Dreaming, after taking a huge upside fall off the first roof, then I tr'ed it. Another cool route. The bolts on Dreaming are pretty ran out. Kinda scary for a sport climb. Quote
texplorer Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 My favs- long, free, clean trad rock routes with lots of exposure, runnouts, some spicy .10-.11 pitches and a high commitment level. Â OW,s and wide stuff are the shit Quote
Bob_Clarke Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 It comes to mind the route I did last week in Red Rocks - Levitation 29. Great setting, incredible climb with an approach to make a team work hard. One of the best climbs anywhere! Quote
iain Posted October 30, 2002 Posted October 30, 2002 Any route that involves freshiez and lots of them, tex Quote

Bronco Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Any mountain only using the first edition of Becky for route info or even older or more outdated info, if that's even possible. It just seems more adventurous that way. Quote
Bob_Clarke Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Dreamin is a great climb. Nothing hard on it just a head trip. Go Dog Go is all right. I prefer Rawhide and Vision. Tim, did you send Go puppy Go? Quote
Dru Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Mossy squeeze chimneys with wasp nests an no gear. Quote
TimL Posted October 31, 2002 Author Posted October 31, 2002 No I didn't send Go Puppy. Sunday was the first time I was on the route. Fell a couple times on the upper crux but everything seemed all there. Shouldn't be to hard to get the send. Seems like its one hard move then rest, then hard move then rest. I'd like to have a go at Vision next time I head to Smith. It looks really good to. Â Have you started to work the French Connection yet? Now thats a line! Saw a guy working Just Do It on Sunday. Both those routes look friggin hard. Quote

Bob_Clarke Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Next weekend is another try at The Connection. I'm staying home this weekend. Quote
chelle Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 I like cracks. Especially .75 to #1 camelot size. My favorite! Quote
Knottygirl Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 I like mixed face/crack routes...my tendonitis makes it hard to sustain in a long crack, the mix gives it some rest. Ummm overhangs...I feel safer on them then a slabby 5.7's, which make me think if I slip I'll knock out my front teeth. Â Routes that are like a carnival rides up;they tie your stomach in knotts and make you sing a song in your head. Quote
