olyclimber Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 In that case, my favorite climb is called "Shit Infection" It's a mega-hard ultra-shit-yourself testpiece on Around the Wayback Buttress. Characterized by steep drytooling on frozen moss and tied off loose blocks for pro. Belays were on #0 RP's and half-in talons. If we had tools and 'poons it might have been M9 R, but in rock shoes and wool gloves it was nothing less than a horror show. Thank god there was a sheep at the top. You used pro for this climb? I just carried the rope for the extra wieght. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Those routes are gay. By gay, I am sure you must mean they are happy and cheerful routes with pretty cracks and with puffy clouds set in a bluebird sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pms Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Can't decide between Midway or Angel on Castle Rock. S. Houser is nice but gotta go with Midway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Whats your favorite move on Midway. The step across is nice. Leaving a little island and moving to the mainland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pms Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 The move right off the ground is pretty nice, not not as nice as the moves onto the tower. My favorite part is the second half of pitch 2 on the direct, not the direct direct, but the left variation of the 3 regular directs. Best move is the ones above the belay on p3.

billcoe Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I was just thinking today how nice that East Face line up Liberty Bell is. Crank that grade 5 in a day and you get a wide variety of free and aid with an amazing view from the top that is sure to put a smile on your face.

CascadeClimber Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 There are many classics that I've yet to do, but from the list of what I've done, this is my favorite: Perfect weather, awesome partner, required good all-around skills, and was a true adventure (by my definition).
