selkirk Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Was out at the Feathers over the weekend and made a run up a 5.10ish climb that wasn't in the guide book and was wondering if anyone had a name/grade for it? It felt 10a-ish, or maybe soft 10b, and was about 100ft uphill and to climbers left from the pillar with Satan's Wagon and Blood Blister on it.

kevino Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 You weren't the guy making the bad jokes all morning then and went to stick clip the first bolt on the feathers are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucK Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Why do routes at Vantage even have names? They should just have numbers. Or at the most some sort of 1984 newspeak designations. fingercrackplusgoodcuntlapper #3 areteloosebad4boltsmegma #7 etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Actually after looking at Summit Post I think it might have been Criminally Insane. I always had the impression Suites was quite a bit further than whatever I was on. 6 clips, significantly overhanging at the top, with an interesting mantel where it goes from very overhanging to the flat pillar top. Two short chains set way back (10+ ft from the edge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvlNC Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 sounds like criminally insane..look it up on mountainproject too. fun climb,climbed it a month ago..definitely did not think it was 10b. i think its listed as 10a and i thought it could be a 9sih. fun though so who cares.

tradclimbguy Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 This seems like a good thread to spew about all the FFA's I got out there this year already. I mean when major holds come off the next first send gets another FFA right? Vantage Rocks... I mean Vantage "is crumbly" Rocks. As for names chucK, I just denote them by blanket rating the whole crag. No need with names or numbers I just know them as 5.9 or 5.10 somethings...
