Dirtyleaf Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 What are some recommended trad climbs for a beginning/intermediate trad leader. I've led up to .10a but would like to get really comfortable and solid at anything 5.5-5.9.Any route suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireneo_Funes Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Nimrod's Nemesis is the hardest 5.5 I've ever climbed. For Smith: Super Slab, Moscow. Lots of shorter stuff in the 5.6-5.8 range at Northern Point and the Student Wall, and on Staender Ridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 i don't think a new leader should be on the bottom section of godzilla! that's terrible advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
