tvashtarkatena Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Time for some laps. Let's hear your faves... Quote
Pete_H Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 You've probably done Town Crier, but I thought that was real fun and a good challenge for solo aid. Green Drag-on is supposed to be good to. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 I have, but I just got set up for soloing (and TC is where I'm gonna start). There are a lot of great aid routes out there, but some are better than others for parties of one. Green Dragon would be next on the list. Convenient commute between the two. Â I need to get my fat ass up stuff faster if I'm gonna be of any use on longer routes other than as a haul monkey. Quote
Pete_H Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 I figured you'd done at least one of those two. Another idea would be to do City Park, the second pitch, then Slow Children or cut left and do either the third pitch of Jap Gardens or Klaus Von Bulow and the Algorythm of Love. Narrow Arrow Direct would be another good 3 pitch affair. Â Solo aid will get you in shape quick! Quote
smash and grab Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 There are some long sections between bolts on Town Crier so you might want like a 20'-30' stick clip for this route if you just wanna rack only quickdraws. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 Good ideas JH. That should keep me busy for a while. Still need to snag some larger offset nuts and crap out some $$$ for a few smaller offset cams at some point. Looks like OK wetter mid next week. Quote
genepires Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I bet a little research would yield some routes for you in exit 32. shorter drive and routes. I am not familiar enough with the area but I seem to remember there being some all gear routes. Â or you could just ask me to be your belay bitch. Edited January 7, 2012 by genepires Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 PM me your schedule and we'll do some recon. Quote
Alex Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Steel Monkey the original start to Ten Percent. must have HB offsets. Â Quote
OlympicMtnBoy Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 If it's a nice weekday I'd cross the pass and hit something up with you Pat, or we could have a solo aid party and get on routes next to each other and shout insults back and forth! Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 Sound awesome, S. Thursday's lookin good for weather. Hope the rocks' not too drippy, but hey, it's aid.... Quote
