I lead up to 10a, but might go a bit softer this early in the season.

I would climb in Eldo on Sunday. I don't have a ton of Eldo experience, but could probably lead up to 5.9 if it wasn't too run-out. I've led up into 5.10 on trad, but Eldo, of course, is a little different. What were you looking to get on?

I have a double rack etc., etc., but no RP's.

If your going to Eldo bring someone who has RP's- Damn near mandatory for your free rack. And for 5.9's that aren't ran out... There's a few.

Here's one that's not ran out and you don't need RP's for Positively 4th St.

I might be interested. I lead up to 10a, climb in Eldo regularly. Still looking?

RPs are very useful, but not mandatory in Eldo.

Foss C'mon... The operative word in that sentence was "near," well "damn near" to be precise. Once you get into the .11 range you would be severely limited in route selection without RP's.

You personally don't worry RP's much... Or a rope for that matter, fkn rock star:)

Did everyone find a partner on this thread? I'm in the market for tomorrow.

Ryan, I don't often feel very rockstarish in Eldo; it's a humbling place. I do own and carry a set RPs for Eldo and would say they become more necessary in the 5.10s and up.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
