Open Book - Tahquitz

Recommended Posts

I have a question about the Open Book route in Tahquitz. We were standing at the bottom of it last week and my partner says the guide says that several 3"" to 4"" pieces are handy. Not required, but handy. It has always been my experience that there is a difference between handy and requrired, so I want to go since we have at least 3 pieces of that size, but he will not. So the question is: Can this climb be adaquately protected with just a few of the larger sizes?

Do you want to know specifics about this climb in particular -- or are you asking a more general question like, "should we have just gone for it anyway?"

 

I climbed Open Book with one #4 Camalot and one # 3, I think, back in the day -- and yes, it would have been nice to have had another big piece -- but did I find a way to make it go? Yes. And I bet you probably might have, too.
