Guide for Solar Slab between the 26th and 29th
|
We are three solid climbers that are looking to climb solar slabs between the 26th and the 29th of November, depending on the weather. we will be camping in Red Rocks and hope to find someone that will be a trad leader that we can follow up. We have the ropes and equipment for the three of us, we just lack someone with trad skills and a rack. We all climb well above the rating of the pitches on solar slab, it would just be nice to have someone that has experience on the route, and the descent. |

Too much increased risk and inefficiency with 1 guide and 3 followers. Why don't you hire two guides for a 1:1 and a 1:2 ratio? Contact Mark Limage at Jackson Hole Mountain Guides (in Red Rock) here: jhmg.com/adventure/red-rock… |

just solo it out bruh |
|
I concur, more than two clients for multi pitch is just inconsiderate for others and even for the guides. |
|
Hit up the AAI they have great local guides , Doug Foust is the man and Ive only heard good things about Andrew Yasso aswell. |
|
Yep, they are both awesome. |

Have any of you climbed any multipitch routes in Red Rocks? |

Edit: The few times I hiked in, it was from inside the park, not outside of the loop road.I have hiked in from inside the park too. Inside the park is shorter but outside you dont have to wait for the gates to open, dont have to drive around the loop and dont have to worry about a ticket if you get back to your car too late after dark. |

45min-1hr approach from the 13m loop(oak creek parking lot) |

The last time I was up there with the Uriostes (most prolific FA'ist in RR history and good friends of mine) there were tons of parties being slow, leaving gear, and not using double rope technique all over the place. Regardless, drop me a line, I might know someone who can be of assistance to you. If you are in need of further beta or some more great info, check out my extensive Red Rock beta on SummitPost.org as I am usually too busy to post on MPNice name dropping. One time, when I was a valet in college, I parked Tom Cruises car. True story. |

Thanks, AdamI'd think an offer of one case of good beer per person to the guide would be a fair place to start. |

Maybe you missed the part where they were looking for someone who has trad gear and knows how to lead trad. |
