wayne Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 My list of the top 50 routes in the 5.10-to.11- at Index index top 50 Quote
genepires Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 we need a "top 50 routes in the 5.8 to 5.9 at index" list......never mind there are only a handful total. Quote
DPS Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I don't think there are 50 different routes at Index I can climb. Quote
Drederek Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Swim oughta be on the list, its easy enough to skip the first pitch. Quote
laurel Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 For everyone who complains (or has been told) that Index is too hard... Here's my top sekret list of easy (5.9 and under) routes at Index. There aren't 50 but if you really only climb 5.9, these 27 should take you at least all day. I've only listed routes I've done, not a comment on quality of those I've left out (which include a lot of new routes and recently recleaned). Lower Town Wall Great Northern Slab (3p) 7 Pisces (variation for p2 of GNS) 7 Aries (5 short p) 8+ Sickle/Taurus (variation to Aries that skips the hardest pitch) 7 Or whatever, there are about 10 pitches that are < 5.8 that can be combined in various ways to make 3 to 5 pitch routes, just look at http://web.stanford.edu/~clint/index/gnslab.gif Princely Ambitions (2 p) 9 Roger’s Corner (2p, usually link) 9 Godzilla 9 Quarry Crack 9 Country Ultrabrutal 7 GM/HoC 9 or 10a Private Idaho Wet Dream 9 Magic Fern 9 Istanbul 9 Battered Sandwich 9 Senior Citizens in Space 8 Hag Crack 6 Upper Town Wall Davis Holland p1 9 Lovin Arms p3 9+ (climb DHLA at 9 C1 or walk to the top and rap) Inner Walls Toxic Shock 9 Toxic Shock with Even Steven start 8 Corner Flash 7 K Cliff Special K 8 CF Route 9 Go 9 (some of the 10- routes didn’t seem any harder than the 9s to me. some are easy to TR) Lookout Point Peanuts to Serve You 9 Rattletale Rattletale p1 9 Quote
wayne Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Laurel, I was just thinking that I should do a trilogy with the moderate grade routes and an elite list too! May I build on your outstanding moderate list? Quote
ivan Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 seems awd to have a "top awesome" list for index w/o the green drag-on or the town crier Quote
shapp Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 toxic shock and rattle tale are 2 of my favorites Quote
Buckaroo Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Lovin Arms p3 9+ (climb DHLA at 9 C1 or walk to the top and rap) Totally recommended, or even rap down to the end of the traverse on p2, you can do this with a single 60M. Quote
origin_ing Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I would like to add Them 5.9 to the list of rad moderates at index Quote
