S1W Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Taking a whirlwind trip to Idaho next weekend and will be near Riggins - heard about some limestone climbing there but can't find very detailed information online. Does anyone in the Seattle area have a copy of the guidebook that you wouldn't mind lending out for the weekend? Or know if it is sold anywhere in Riggins? Thanks! Quote
Mr. Hands Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Bring your power drill and chisle tips and make what ever route you want! Thats all the beta you need! Quote
Quarryographer Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 Despite what the donkey says, there are many routes in Riggins that were not manufactured some as easy as 5.9, others projects well past 14c. IMO Tractor boy the manufactured route in question is an improbable and impressive line that was "altered" from 5.17 to a mere mortal 13b, with some pretty rad moves. Also swing by Hells canyon while you're in the hood for a plethora of moderate climbs on bullet limestone. And yeah, I've got a book you can borrow, and I live in Seattle. Quote
hanman Posted August 23, 2010 Posted August 23, 2010 I would definitely stop in at Hell's. That place is amazing! Here's an old TR I did- http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/893056/TR_Hell_s_Canyon_Many_5_15_200#Post893056 M. Hanna Quote
