"Wall style" routes in the Black
|
A friend and I are training for El Cap in a month or so, and are thinking of training by doing a route in the Black. I can free 5.9, but I would rather work on my aid systems and maybe spend a night on the wall, instead of just doing the casual route . The black isn't exactly famous for completely solid rock, so I was wondering if there were any good routes with solid continuous crack systems(C2 max) for aiding. A bivy ledge would be an extra plus. |

Thanks guys. We have been practicing on country club a bunch to work our systems. just wondering if there were any exceptions to the rule in the black, which it seems there aren't. Zion is the back up in case the conditions in Yosemite are crappy. |
