Zaphod Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I'm gonna head out there this weekend. What crag has the best collection of 5.10 and low 5.11 cracks other than Sunshine Wall? I've been to Sunshine Wall a bunch, so I'd like to check out a new place. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 5.9 Theresea's Lingerie 5.10a Sex Party, Crazy Fingers, The Elders 5.10b Thin and Curvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwrts Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Most routes on MEAST WALL are high quality and recommended...typically I was never disappointed with any route I did here. The rock is better quality/colorful and cracks are more pure like tieton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwrts Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 there is less fracturing/jointing in the wall too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCash Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Some recommendations for harder routes... I have only followed these 2, but they are both amazing. Jihad - 5.11a Lingerie - 5.11d (10d if stemmed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithophiliac Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I definitely second the vote for Jihad, although I'm not sure its a true .11a. Theresa's Lingerie was also cool with only a short crux section. Also, While it only has a short crack section at the bottom, Human Sacrifice is still well worth doing.
