Rad Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Considering quality of moves, quality of rock, ambience, and exposure: WA crack: Heart of the Country P3 - Index. Thin Fingers looks like it would take the top crack spot, but I've never been on it. Hopefully next year! WA sport: Overture - X38 (w/new direct start off the road) - X38. Spray about X38 all you want but go do this climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shapp Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I will combine and go with best mixed pitch (some bolts some trad gear): Oregon: trix finger crack to bolted roof on Epiphany (Spring Mt.) Washington: Other Side of the Tracks 1st pitch (Some place by Filthington) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minx Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 shapp--good to spring mtn get some luv here. can't say as i've been there in an eon or so but i never see it mentioned these days. certainly not the greatest crag ever but definitely provides an enjoyable day!

shapp Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Minx Did you ever climb Trix and/or Epiphany? Kind of stupid that the route setter chose to cross the excellent Trad route (trix) with the lower bolted part of epiphany, although the last 2 bolts pulling over the big roof on Epiphany makes for a great ending to Trix.

minx Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 trix is a fantastic pitch. i remember that the roof can be done w/o the bolts on epiphany? might be wrong it's been a while. it does seem like a waste to have crossed the route like that. leads to a bit of cluster at times. i remember being terrified on the upper part of geophysical. still a fun climb. then again, that's about as hard as i ever lead so it's probalby pretty easy and fun for a better climber.

chucK Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 If you had just one crack pitch to climb over and over again, is there any better single pitch than the full Thin Fingers? I think not, but if there is, I'd sure like to hear about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 WA crack - big second vote for beacon's freeforall-dods-dastardly combo-meal - best finished by belaying off the railing on a sunday afternoon while macking on every grandma huffing her way up the trail WA sport - last pitch of young warriors - even better if you don't clip any of the bolts - the moves are as good as sex yet require none of the awkward well-that-was-nice-maybe-i-oughta-call-you-again bullshit the morning after Or crack - all the gorge stuff - climbing tuff cracks makes my hands sad OR sport - there's sport climbing in oregon?
