Overhanging Jugs
|
Are there any routes on the front range that are just overhanging jugs for days, in the 5.10 or less range? |
|
Are you looking for sport or trad climbs? |
|
It sounds like trad. |

The Flatirons, Dinosaur Mountain to be more exact. Vertical to overhanging 5.7 to 5.10 aplenty. |

Which routes are you thinking of like that? I can't think of any such on Dino Mt. |

Thanks for the replies. I shall investigate. |
|
Sounds like you should check out the Tennessee Wall |
|
Sounds like you need to go to Obed. |
|
Nashville? Sounds like good AC is what's needed. |

Breakfast in Bed steep with jugs for days. Only 5.8

Does this route fit your description? |

If you're in Nashville, Foster Falls (1.5 hr drive) will give you some decent overhangs. |

Seriously, Touch Monkey is 20' of steep. April Fools (11b/c) or the S Crack on the Maiden (11a) are steeper for longer... but still not 5.10. |

basically none of these FR suggested climbs are really 'upside down' climbing though, but just off vertical climbing. |

Yeah - at sub 5.10, the best you can hope for is about a body length of roof or a brief steep (overhanging) section. Danny Inman pulls up through the fun roof on Futile Laments on Eldo's Wind Tower. Done to the ledge, this is a 60M pitch. Photo by Tony Bubb, 3/08. Stefanie Van Wychen pulls up through the upper roof on Futile Laments on Eldo's Wind Tower, about 100 feet over the ground.
