Nice Mix, Now when climbers choose multi-pitch routes they can have a reference even in Indonesia and Thailand.

Sadly I don't have a lot of diversity yet in what multi pitch climbs I have done. I hope to fix this in the future

of the climbs I have done so far, I would say my favorites were either Open Book or Whodunit in tahquitz.

You will! Now you have lists to help you pick climbers favorites

I don't know if I can say The Black is my favorite place. I've only been able to get out there once. It's just a really intense place with a lot of history and it's kind of ominous.

Greg, it's one of those climbs where it doesn't have to be fun to be fun. Without other people there it would have just been some chossy nightmare but luckily we all could joke and whine about it together which made it a fun climb. Sort of like Epinephrine for you I think.

Sometimes it's the absolute fear and nightmare-giving intensity that leaves such an impression that it becomes a favorite climb. For me, some multipitch ice adventures and a couple rock routes left me with an admiration of the overall atmosphere of the route. Some routes in perfect conditions are completely different to the exact same route in adverse conditions and can make both experiences favorites... given both scenarios it's the adverse conditions, for me, that almost always become more memorable.

Hey, if we're switching from "favourite" to "memorable" then I have some additions.

Drifting even further from the topic - one of my favourite days climbing was at a fairly shite. But the people I was with, and the shear amount of laughter made it a great time. I also think I took more falls that day then any other day climbing. Generally from someone shouting sage advice along the lines of "BE STRONG LIKE BEARRRR" or "The key to that section is to not have eaten so much last week".
No other time have I been laughing too hard to shout "fall!".

To me, most of the time, they are the same thing. Given a little time, the most memorable bad scenarios become my favorites mainly because of the experience and lessons I learned. Without them I wouldn't be the climber I am today.

yeah, you're right about the fun of it: wyrick-merrill was definitely fun for the reasons noted. I still laugh at the "give me about five more feet of slack...I have to jump!" quote.

Epi...still shakes my boots.

Epinephrine - Red Rocks Agreed. The route left me smiling. The descent left me cursing like a sailor.
Yellow Brick Road - Red Rocks Haven't done.
Directississima - Gunks One of my favorite pitches anywhere. Wish it were longer. Last time I was on it I tried to link it to the last pitch of Enduro man. Hung on it but thought it might go with some work.
Recompense with the Beast Var.- Cathedral Agreed. One of the best 5.9's in the Northeast.
Book of Solemnity - Cathedral Very cool route. Also too short.
Whitney-Gilman - Cannon 5.7 Adventure climbing at it's best.


Nice list.

My favorite climbs all mean something different to me, depending on where it was during my climbing evolution, who I was with, or if I wasn't with anyone. Some personal highlights:

Positive Vibes, The Hulk
Astroman, The Valley
Wall of the Worlds, Cal Dome
Beckey-Chouinard, The Bugs
Nutcracker, The Valley (<20 mins)
Freeway, Squamish
The Vampire, Tahquitz
Slipstream, Icefields Parkway
Upper Weeping Wall, Icefields Parkway
Full Exum, The Tetons (<11 hrs c2c, onsight)

I have always always always wanted to climb Slipstream. That's one hell of a line!

I would also love to climb the Hulk... if I ever get to CA. It's an impressive chunk of rock.

Actually it was the Naked Edge that I look at in Eldo, but Yellow Spur looks awesome too.

A couple more additions to my list:

Rosy Crucifixion to Alice in Bucketland in Eldo
Bastille Crack in Eldo

Yep, I grew up in the East and everything listed is classic but short. That's the "draw" of the West.

I could list more from Squamish but I didn't want to get too "one sided"

The weather window is tough sometimes but I truly think Squamish is THE BEST Trad area in NA followed by Red Rocks.

LOL. Maybe I'm just projecting. I'm sure as hell not strong enough to go do it right now. But if I knew you were coming, I'd get there.

Not to make too big a deal of it, but I've been on 5.12 routes that were easier.

GO

Cool

There's also alot of great multi-pitch climbs in Lovers Leap, 5.7-5.11. The rock is very unusual almost like there are patterns on it.

We also forgot Smith Rocks , Monkey Face anyone?

Mt Lemmon has so much as well, I only been there once but theres so much to climb. With different elevations.

Yes with Yosemite and Tuolumne in the West you can climb forever .
The Gunks will always be my first outside climbing and there is a nice feel to the area around New Paltz.
.

Thanks for sharing !!

Unpossible to decide. Especially since most of the routes I remember fondly are because of the goings-on on the route, not the actual route.
Like Agag's Groove on Bouchaille Etive Mhor, for some reason I always have a blast on that route. It's not a world class route, but I am always smiling on it.

I also like climbing towers. Something about climbing something free-standing just makes it rad.

I had such a blast on Bear's Reach with Lazlo that I think of the route highly, though I've heard people talk about it a little critically.

Funny how the ambiance of the day/mood of the party can make shitty awkward grovelling feel like cool and funky moves, or sketchy run out stuff exciting or boring easy section relaxing and chilled.

Edit to add some more fun routes:

Finger's Ridge, Corrie an T'Schneacda, Caingorms.
Pidgeon Spire, Bugaboos

Haha, and a special mention for Burnsy of River Tower. One of the more hilarious excuses for climbing I've been involved in. HaHa!

Wow Scotland -Just thinking is it the air there that allows a climber to fall 1000 ft and land on his feet!!JK

I am interested in this bugaboos,
let me tell you I climbed with this 15yr old teen boy that could lead amazingly he put his first piece 150ft from the ground,on rock on and was down to climb the entire grand wall and lead it himself through split and sword. Unbelievable climbed since 4,
Anyway he said the bugaboos was great routes long approaches, What type of rock? is it desolate?

Any photos?

Scotland has some rad routes but the weather can be an issue and nothing is really roadside.

The bugs are rad, I don't have any photos cuz I lost my camera, though.

The bugs are rad, I don't have any photos cuz I lost my camera, though.

MadMadMad Way to out me Marge.

Yeah, I left it at the hut. Busted.

You'd have thought someone would hand it in, though, no?
Nope.

But fer me.
With out a doubt my favorite multi pitch.
Tree Route, 5.6, Dome Rock. First 3 pitches, easy breazy fingerish crack. P4 up a short slab, 1 bolt to a small roof. Try to wiggle a stopper in. Pull the easy 5.6, but don't slip and your home free.
Great day. Smile

How could you find an owner of a camera where all the pics are of sheep rear ends?
