People stop scaring the guy. Instill confidence not doubt. What now he cannot tie two ropes together? How is he gonna learn? If he has enough sense to have a rack, a girlfriend and a person who is willing to lend him the rope he got enough brain cells to figure shit out.
Btw I got a new phone...

Rapping the route is a good experience, so they can enjoy that. Its fun to rap. You people just chill.
OMG their ropes be stuck?? So that can happen to anybody...on a single pitch. Let the guy have the experience.

Do you wonder why everyone else, except you, is saying don't rap the Five Open Books ? Do you think there might be some reasons for that? I wonder...

Because its a popular crag and there may be parties on it...not if they go super early though!

Hehehehe maybe we should all pitch in and get a 'Valley Supervisor' position going ??? Better yet a 'Valley Mod'!

Ok fine walk it or rap it whatever you decide. I would rap it. We rapped it and had no problems whatsoever.

Rapping that route is just a bad idea!

ok everyone relax god dam n haha, to address a few things, im not a climbing noob i can climb 5.10c on sport and 11b on toprope i can lead trad up to 5.8, and ive lead several multi pitch sport routes so i can fix bolted belay anchors and know multi pitch protocol and yes i havent built any pro anchors (my local crag has bolts at the top and havent had that experience, thats why i have a local guide im meeting up with this week before our trip) that being said im well aware of safety precautions such as rock fall, also im not stupid I wouldnt being trying to climb this shit if i wasnt confident both me and her are good enough and smart enough i just need a pro anchor 411, that being said im pretty excited for this trip any other route suggestions would be cool and thank you craghead for not trying to psyche me out like everyone else lol but it seems best way down is to walk off which i dont mind
