Best climb you've done on a single set of nuts?
|
What's the best completely trad route you have done using a single set of nuts for pro? For me, The Lieback fits the bill. What say you? |
|
positively fourth street, eldo |
|
Exasperator in Squamish.
|
|
The second pitch of Emerald City. I think i placed a full set of nuts on this one. |
|
I led the Stur Chimney on Mount Heyburn in the Sawtooths with a set of 5 hexes. |
|
Mostly single pitch routes that aren't even worth mentioning. |
|
Yellow Spur. With all of the fixed pins it goes nicely.
|
|
The crux pitch of Second Coming at Looking Glass. |
|
I lead ALL my routes with only a pair of nuts. |

Burning calves is one I remember, at the new. Probably others but not as good. It was only 80 feet but very good. |
|
kangaroo corner in squamish ... takes perfect micronuts ... easy 11a or so ... i use 6 cause im chicken ... in reality you likely only need 3 ... |
|
Disappearing Act in Eldo. But I wouldn't recommend it without some caution... |
|
As mentioned above, the Yellow Spur goes well on a set of nuts to supplement the fixed pins. The only tricky part seemed to be the belay below the crux pitch. |
|
No idea. Why? Do you get extra trad carbon credits? |
|
Curving Crack in Boulder Canyon. |
|
I used only 4 nuts on Crazy Alice at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Though I also had cams with me so i suppose I lose some style points. |

The trail to the Gallery, RR... |

The Nutcracker, Yosemite valley |
