Suggestions for sunny multipitch route in Eldo
|
Hello gurus of MP--does anyone know of any good moderate multipitch routes in Eldo that will stay in the sun most of the day this week? This Thursday is supposed to be snowy, and I'm going to be climbing Friday. |

Great! Sounds like the west ridge is the winner, and hopefully the snow doesn't stick. Thanks everyone! |

Mail Tower Link Up This is a great route. Not really that "moderate" but not all that difficult either. You can skip "Chick on The Side" and just cut to the good stuff on P2. Finishes on Handcracker. Awesome. Sleep in, gets afternoon sun- then descend the east side of West Ridge and climb something like Darkness Till Dawn or first two pitches of Green Spur.

Ruper on the Redgarden. As mentioned before, you may need to rap the chockstone chimney - vertigo raps if the east ledges are messy. |

Just did Ruper last Saturday. It was in the sun the whole time. |

I'll have to put Mail Tower Link up on my to do list, looks like a great route. Nice to know Ruper was in the sun all day, that might be a good one to do, although leaning more towards Long John Wall since I haven't done it yet. Thanks! |
