First Recorded Ascent at Angel Food Landing, Red Rock Canyon, NV.
|
This route has two pitches: Pitch 1: aRrgh! 5.9R, 40 M Pitch 2: Youahbull 5.10a, 50 M This route acts as an alternate start to Group Therapy, "Youahbull" ends at the first (second?) set of bolt anchors for Group Therapy, on the exposed face above the crack system. Climber can continue to follow Group Therapy, to make the route 5.10a. Or climber can rappel a serious of easy to find bolt anchors down the initial crack system of Group therapy with a single 60 M rope.

Never heard it called Angel Food Landing before. Thought it was just Angel Food Wall. |
|
Oh, also, did you name each pitch? Super cool. Most routes just have a name, and then number the pitches. I think your way is better. |
|
Damn named each pitch then renamed the wall. Nice |
|
Cool first retro-naming bruh. Admins can we get an option for this on route pages so i can update all my first retro-naming ticks? |
|
this amuses me. go on |

OP - Welcome to Mountain Project. Everything you do and say can and will be ridiculed. |

My partner and I did Group Therapy on Thursday. We got off route once or twice, but we didn't see bolted anchors at any of the belays (thought we missed the fourth belay stance). I don't know what anchors the OP is talking about. |
|
you should just name all the pitches to avoid confusion |
|
Woah this got a lot of attention. |
|
I really like this thread and the OP. Sounds like just the sort of adventures I'd get into when I was starting out. There was no Internet back then, but id be just as excited when I thought I'd made an (accidental) FA. Id rush over to Rock&Snow full of enthusiasm and be gently reminded that I'd most definitely not done an FA, but I should name it anyway. Fun times and brings me back. Keep exploring! There is so much out there and once you've had a taste of A few FA's you've never stop. |
|
Thanks man! Appreciate the understanding, sure - I am excited! |
|
Simpsons did it |

Damn youngsters ain't got no sense - not to mention yer gittin off route. At least yer pa taught ya to climb trees - probably to git possums. FWIW - I did my first climbing adventures around Copper's Rock, Seneca Rocks, and Dolly Sods and grew up Morgantown. |

Just throwing it out there . I've been off route lots in Red Rocks, but I'm not naming that shit and calling it a first ascent. Should I be? Should u be? |

It just depends on how far off route you are. Just give it a name and called a FRA like he did. Better than "Unknown variation" FA ??? |

Oh no worries man, its hard to get things straight over internet communication. |
|
|
|
Yes! Yes Yes Yes yesssssss, there were two sets of bolted anchors. |

No Mas, |

"No mas" ... As in, there's "no mas" coffee in the house and that's why you're being such a grumpy prick? Chill. |
