Lava Falls
Trauma
Subterranean Tango (the entire route)
Fourplay
Heritic
Ordeal
Jorgies Crack
St Valintines Day Massacare (it's the view, not the rock)
Salathe Route ( I did the Bunett bolt variation)
Burgundy Rappel Route
And no the groove is not on my list!
-
My top five:
-Old Original
-Portent
-Salathe (original)
-Lava Falls
-Feed the Beast
My next five:
-Get a Grip
-Terranean Tango
-Shake and Bake (still scares crap out of me)

Honorable Mention to "la petite mort"
Brad... Which is the correct spelling, btw. Clint's site has the spelling wrong. Can you update on the drafts...
-
Feather Canyon
I will let my dad know it made your top ten. :)
P.S. When does H&L shut down for the raptors? I need to give Feather Cyn a shot before it does.
-
Just got the info off the FOP website.
Darn! I have the 15-17th off but the closure begins on the 15th. Have to wait until July I guess.:(
-
In less than 100 degree weather July might work Jody. Much of the route is in deep chimneys or north facing. (The approach wouldn't be pleasant though.) I might do it with you in October or so if you haven't done it by then.
-
I intended to do it two weeks ago but my partner didn't show up until 11AM. We ended up doing a few short routes near the reservoir instead. Make the approach early enough and the heat won't be a problem. I followed my dad up the route in 1974 when I was ten so I just have vague recollections of it.
-
Is Feather canyon a worthy route? It sounds interesting. I'd be up for it.
Munge is right, can't really par the list down to just 10 routes.
-
Top Ten that a person has done or Top Ten in general?
That I have done.
Gutter
Time Stands Still
Jorgie's with the Continuation (Lead as one pitch)
Portent
Cantaloupe Death
Cataract Corner
Carpel Tunnel
Salathe
Lava Falls
If We Bolt It They Will Cum
If it includes routes I have not done
40 days of Rain, Ubber and of course Conduit look awsome.
In there
Wet Kiss
First Sister- Center Route
Burgundy Dome
Buffolo Soldier
Cleft
Daddy Long Legs
Heretic
Back of hand
Thin Man
Rebeca's linkup
Nexus
Mission Impossible
And of course all my projects.
-
The gutter? Are you on crack? Doesn't it finish at the chains and the crux is right before the chains?
I'll second Jorgies to the top is a great route.
The list has to be routes you've done (let's be fair).
-
I do not think that The Gutter has chains.
The Gutter goes left, The Roof goes right.
Got it?
-
Hmmm, okay I have it. But it looks awfully dirty. :roll:
Do you bring a trowel for the Bird Sh###?
No one's riding home in my rig after they've climbed it. That's for sure.
-
Buffalo Soldier should get honerable mention.
-
I totally forgot about Nexus.
That thing is way impressive for it's style. Little mossy, but sound rock underneath.
Definitely makes the list.
-
Munge isn't allowed to post anymore until/unless he get's that other forum up and running. And while I'm bitching, change your sign off. The Groove isn't the shittiest route in the monument - it's not even your vote on this subject. I watched you lead the first pitch of Herschel Berschel where you were climbing on moss, birdshit, and (somewhere underneath it all) rock that was less than perfect. All with essentially no pro where it mattered. I was reminded of this a month ago when I let Mr Mud talk me into leading this pitch. No matter how bad you think the Groove is, struggle back in the inner recesses of your memory: Hershel Berschel beats it hands down.
-
i stand corrected.
done
-
Buffullo Soldier is on my list.
I did not talk you into leading the first pitch. I did not care which pitch I got: you asked to lead that one.
-
I suppose that Broken Arrow would have to be included. Not a spectacular route, but it is one that I really like and always enjoy climbing. I also really like Here Comes the Judge, fun route, real good moves.
-
BY still doesn't get sarcasm to come across in his posts very well. :)
-
I get it. Ask Vic, I laughed out loud at your response. It's just that your response was so good that I hd no comeback.
-
heh
-
Brad - what was the name of that climb we did a few weekends ago? The 5.10a/b up near Knucklehead? Was that "Oh Henry"? That might not be a top 10, but definitely an honorable mention. It was a spectacular climb.
Fungusamungus should be mentioned as well, simply for the sheer fun of jumping from one unstable pillar to the other and back. I will post photos as soon as I get back up to Sonora.
-
Way to go Lane, way to sow confusion. It is "Oh Henry" unless someone comes up with the real name. But it isn't near Knucklehead, the name of the pinnacle it's near is Numbskull Needle. On those mushrooms, they're scary, but really, I don't think 20 people could topple them giving it all their strength and effort - at least probably not. Fungusamongus is at least a very one of a kind "ascent."
-
Sorry about that. Between job offers and having a nasty head/chest cold, my brain is completely fried.
-
Crowley Tower # 5 goes onto my Top Ten list or at least on the Honorable Mention list. The route is 2nd class and easily done in sneakers. The rock is quite good and the views are very good. Cool Spot.
-
Trauma is officially suspended from my list until the owls vacate the crack.
-
Trama is a rockin old skool Pinn route. Missing seeing you get gacked on by an owl though bummed me out. The story and shite on your pants made up for it.
