Comments: Marty, I think that the fact that it can be TR'ed is implied because it's at Devil's Lake.

Comments: I think this is the best route on the wall. It's much better than Armed and Dangerous, IMO. It also felt hard for 5.10d. The move at the start of the steep part requires 5.11 burl.

Comments: To my knowledge, Beat Junkie was not led free on gear before Eric's FA. Maybe you're thinking of the Skewer, which was done on gear first.

Comments: This is a very worthwhile extension. It is MUCH more straightforward than a lot of other Rumney 12's. It sort of feels like a little chunk of The Gallery at Red Rocks.

Comments: Hey Jon, I agree with Conway. Better to leave the routes as-is once they have been freed. I am definitely biased towards free climbing, but I think that freeing an aid route creates a higher standard for all future parties.

Most people who free aid climbs have put an incredible amount of work into the climb. A few errant whacks with a hammer (not all aid climbers are as precise as you) could render all of that FA toil worthless. These new-wave free routes (Candidus, Cecile, etc.) are works of ... more >>

Comments: Misleading information? I feel that we're splitting hairs here.

Comments: Only in New Hampshire would you have a whole page worth of directions for a 30 minute approach.
