At the VRG, Cathedral, Wailing Wall? Nope.

At other places? Sure.

Just depends on the crag.

There are over 750 routes in the book with probably 30% of them 5.11 and under. I will count as I drink beer tonight and get back with and exact number.

There are 5.9's through 5.11's at the Cathedral and VRG, so that is incorrect.

Yeah but...not many. Honestly...there's some crags not worth a road trip if you climb below 5.11. Aforementioned crags are in that catagory.

Some areas have a few moderates that are high quality that would work...but...not those...IMHO.

That said...the Limestone Bible has gobs of areas with great easy and moderate routes which makes it a MUST HAVE for all climbers...!!

So now that I have beer, here are the numbers:

5.6-5.9's. 76 routes
5.10's. 54 routes
5.11's. 141 routes

Now buy a book! It's beautiful and well worth the money (aka should've charged more)

Bill and I like the way you think!
