Brad asked me this the other day. A good topic given the current weather. So I'll take a stab at it:

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)

-Feather Canyon

-Possibility Pinnacle (I know, 3rd class!)

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.

Jody Langford · « **Reply #5 on:** January 01, 2006, 07:11:37 PM »

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.

Brad Young · « **Reply #6 on:** January 01, 2006, 07:23:14 PM »

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.

Jody Langford · « **Reply #7 on:** January 01, 2006, 08:06:54 PM »

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.

F4? · « **Reply #8 on:** January 01, 2006, 09:43:05 PM »

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.

The Big · « **Reply #9 on:** January 03, 2006, 03:08:13 PM »

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.

F4? · « **Reply #10 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:06:20 PM »

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).

The Big · « **Reply #11 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:24:00 PM »

I do not think that The Gutter has chains.

The Gutter goes left, The Roof goes right.

Got it?

F4? · « **Reply #12 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:34:39 PM »

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.

F4? · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:38:35 PM »

Buffalo Soldier should get honerable mention.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #14 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:33:49 PM »

I totally forgot about Nexus.

That thing is way impressive for it's style. Little mossy, but sound rock underneath.

Definitely makes the list.

Brad Young · « **Reply #15 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:50:08 PM »

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.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #16 on:** January 03, 2006, 09:18:59 PM »

i stand corrected.

done

The Big · « **Reply #17 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:10:20 PM »

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.

The Big · « **Reply #18 on:** January 03, 2006, 10:13:38 PM »

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.

mungeclimber · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2006, 12:09:27 PM »

BY still doesn't get sarcasm to come across in his posts very well.
