Best multi pitch SPORT routes at Red Rocks in October?
|
Hey everyone! Me and my buddy are planning to make a weekend climbing trip from St. George, UT to Red Rocks in early October. I know RR is a trad climber's paradise, but we're too broke to own any trad gear and still want to experience the great rock and tall climbs! Any suggestions for routes/areas that we should add to our list? Preferably in the 5.7-5.10a range. |

Any suggestions for routes/areas that we should add to our list? Preferably in the 5.7-5.10a range. Boxer Rebellion is a 60' sport route. Cocopuss is an 80' sport route. Power Failure is a trad route with some bolts. Red Rocks has lots of fantastic multi-pitch lines, and lots of great sport routes, but not multi-pitch sport routes. There's a few 2-pitch lines at Riding Hood Wall that would meet your criteria (walk off climbers left, don't rap), and there's Man's Best Friend - another 2-pitch route at Sandstone Quarry, but that's about it meeting your criteria. Unimpeachable Groping is essentially a big multi-pitch sport line, but some people bring a small rack to supplement the runouts when it gets easy and the bolts get far apart. It's also 10b, and with the exposure might feel stiff for the grade (compared the other 10b's at Red Rocks). *Note that Big Bad Wolf has 4 anchors, but most would climb it in two pitches. I believe it can actually be climbed in a single rope-stretching pitch with a 70m rope. |

Link to Red Rock moderate multi-pitch sport routes And, I'd like to throw in that the area is called Red Rock. As in Red Rock Canyon. Not Red Rocks. |

Marc801C put your glasses on; John Hegyes didn't resurrect the thread. You commented on a 4.5 year old resurrected thread for that? |
