Jens Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm ashamed to admit it but..... Their are a few new lines around the "Freeway Gun Show "area that are actually granitic and really really really good. I was really surpirsed and had to do a double take. I felt like was at Leavenworth. It aint' all choss. I redpointed a sport route that was a dead ringer for a sport route I climbed at tioga pass east of Tuolomne meadows.

TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 There are some fun lines over there. I climbed the left trending ramp thing down hill of the slab last summer right after it got bolted. Fun stuff and pretty unique for the area. The direct steep line above it looked good too, but all the bolts werent in yet at the time. Plus, it looked pretty hard while lowering off the other route.

Jens Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 Yeah, the steep line was the one I was talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Nice. Well, if they're not in the guidebook, you should post them at http://www.mountainproject.com/. Pretty cool resource for getting beta about new routes out there, which, I think, Washington desperately needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Nashville, TN? Say it ain't so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 http://www.northbendrock.com/BookUpdates/Exit38/GunShow.htm  I believe the route on the far right is one of the new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The route on the far right has been around for a little while at least. It is only so-so in my opinion (maybe because it felt harder than I wanted it to). Â Although you cant see the actual lines in the pictures, I think Jens and I are talking about the 10C and 11C just left of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 DFA - Nah, I'm still in Seattle, of course. I have no idea why my profile says Nashville. Though TN does have some of the best climbing in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 -lots of rating errors in that photo. but it's all fun!  Can you elaborate? I'm curious about the 10s.  I thought the 5.9s were all about right.  Cheers,  Rad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious about the 10s.  I thought the 5.9s were all about right.  Cheers,  Rad  For one, the posted 5.12 immediately to the right (south) of "Endless Bliss" is more like 5.10+. Unless I am somehow climbing much better than I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The route just right of endless bliss is 10+ in the book. I think the 12 is either a blatent misprint, or another route and the 10+ is missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Isn't the route just right of Endless the short 10d dihedral? It's certainly stiff but I don't think it's a 12 either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 That is the one I was thinking of. 10d is about right for that route at E38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Guess I should try it. How were the 10c to the right of that '12' and the 10a to 10d on the far right end of the wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrogdortheBurninator Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 The 10C right of the twelve is really fun and unique. Thin moves on an interesting ramp. Not sure if it is really 10C, but fun nonetheless. The 10a to 10d is a chosspile. Super dirty. The 10a section seems really easy and the 10d section seems pretty hard.
