What are your project climbs this season?
« Reply #20 on: March 26, 2007, 07:02:53 AM »
Pine Line on El Cap-  no falls or hangs... after that, 5.11 in the valley. I am hoping to be the first person to skip 5.8, 5.9, and 5.10 altogether. Mr Mud, any recommendations for easy 5.11's in the ditch?

Well according to mudworm the Enduro Pitch is 5.9.  For me however, that is the second hardest pitch on the climb.



I have heard that the 11's or 12's whatever they are over by staircase falls on the apron are pretty soft.  Oh, The first 5.11 pitch on Beggars Buttress is a good choice.  If you can do Midterm  you can do that pitch.

Practice your chimneying and then go send The Tube.  The crux move is easy if you're a chimney master... which I am not.

Staircase Falls area has that one 5.11 that allows one to say 'they solo'd 5.11 in the Valley' since it is listed as a route, not just boulder prob.

Figured it was time to raise this topic from the dead and revise my goals (too much caffiene tonight due to work):

Planning to split my winter this year between Valley and Pinns. After tasting the first 3 pitches of the Rostrum, my goals for the next 12 months are:
  • Spending a lot of time in the Valley at Arch Rock, Cookie Cliff, Reeds, and Pat & Jacks
  • Improving my thin crack and off-width technique
  • Doing Leaning Tower in a push (Chris - you and me, only 6 pitches if we link, no hauling)
  • Convincing Salad to attempt Skull Queen again
  • Lead Ali Baba, Lava Falls, Broken Arrow, POD, Volcanic Panic, and Big Pucker at the Pinns. Also, lead the first pitch of Son of Dawn.
  • Hit J-Tree more than once this year and lead Exorcist, Rollerball, and a bunch of other stuff
  • Spend LESS time doing FAs/bolting
  • Spend MORE time projecting routes
  • MUST do some High Sierra (Moongoddess, Fishhook, Patricia Bowl, etc.)
  • Get back into cardio shape
  • Avoid injury
  • Project the Rostrum until I can redpoint it
  • Somehow keep my job in spite of my goals...

Ubber, Lava Falls is wide open. Now is the time to do it in the early am.

I stil need to get on Buffalo Soldier and Catract Corner. Better yet, Rock around the Clock needs to be climbed.

Have fun on LT. I think waiting for your turn in line is the true crux.
I'm not worthy.

Time Stands Still  ( you can protect the move to the first bolt with a large cam) or stick clip (bring a tent pole).
Richnacks Revenge

  Richnak's is a great route...

 I want to get back to trying The Verdict at some point. It's been a few years now since I was on it.

 Mostly, I just want to get on some 10s and maybe some 11s if I feel strong enough for them...

I disagree with the claim that the moves to the first bolt of Time Stand Still can be protected with a large cam. A cam would go in, but the bottom teeth in the horizontal placement would be in kitty litter. I doubt it's possible to get any decent cam there. Maybe a really big one crammed in as tightly as possible? To the ledge below the bolt is easy climbing. From the ledge either do a short stick clip (not my style), or boulder up to clip (scaring yourself silly in the process).

My list is about the same as last year.
1. The 11's
2. Ranger Bolts
3. Put up two routes
4. A wall
5. Climb somewhere new
6. Sierra Route
7. Solo Cup
8. DownieVille under 3:21
9. A Halibut
10. Get my wife to enjoy climbing again.  Not many people know that you can half freeze to death at the Pinns on a warm 90 degree day, fewer still enjoy it.

Get your wife to enjoy climbing again, or get her to enjoy being a belay slave? Your wife should be for climbing. Uber is your belay slave. Try to tell the difference.
