Clean Aid lines on Tahquitz?

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if anyone knows of any c1-c2 lines on Tahquitz/Lily rock? I would like to get more practice on my aid solo techniques.

I've aid-soloed a bunch of easier climbs in the past (not on Tahquitz) and am looking for something harder climbs - but clean - so that I can stay in my aiders (did I actually say that I want to stay in my aiders?).

Thanks!

I know nothing of the area, and yet im still going to respond with piss, vinegar, and ignorance.

Looks for finger cracks/handcracks/ow. Usually the 11-12 range will mean there is some over hang involved. You arent going to see many c1/c2 climbs listed, because if they can go clean at c1/c2 they should in theory go free. mabey as easy as 5.0 (go aid up some crappy slab crack andcall it c1)

Your best bet is alot of determinition. I hit the local climbing areas and just look for connected, or kinda connected cracks with my partner du jour.

asdf.
