Road to Choss...
« on: August 25, 2008, 12:40:17 PM »
Okay, so supertopo has the road to Astroman and Nose. So what would be a prize route and the road to it???

Herchel Berchel?
Edge of Sundown?
Shake and Bake (really not choss)?
If we Bolt it, they will come (quality choss)

And let's not forget the path to it!

Cataract Corner
40 Days of Rain
Hot Lava Lucy
Ranger Bolts

The road is paved with debris.

It’s a secret no one tells;
One day it’s heaven, one day it’s hell.
It’s no fairy tale;
Take it from me,
That’s the way it’s supposed to be.

You will fly and you will crawl;
God knows even angels fall.
No such thing as you lost it all.
God knows even angels fall.

You laugh, you cry, no one knows why
Behold the thrill of it all…
You’re on the ride
You might as well
Open your eyes...

A. I thought there was just one qualified philospher on this site...Munge. Heck he has the degree.
 
B. Munge is on the right track. Desecration...good warm-up for Herchel Berchel 1st pitch.

Now seriously let's take a heady route. What routes would help one get ready for it? (now if you are Mr. Mud you'll just climb and climb the thing every weekend until you get it)

For me it was Buffalo Soldier last season.
Cantalope Death> Broken Arrow (not as clean as I wanted it)> Rock and a Hard Place >POD

I think for someone moving out of the normal Discovery Wall and into the high peaks
Coyote Ugly> Egg shell> Little Javelina>?

I'm not worthy.

Munge????

I guess the real training would be to follow Mr. Mud around on various routes.

I named one of the climbs we did in the canyon 'areeet' after F4's cultural linguistic difficulties.   ;)
