It's spring, time to get off the ground. This forum is getting boring. Whats the last wall you climbed? Was it fun, please tell us. Whats on everybody's spring agenda? Cheers The Dude My last wall was the original route on the Rainbow Wall. Bad Ass! Not hard just fun, with a wide range of climbing and great views. We would have been more comfortable with some bigger cams, but hind-sight is 20/20. We had snow at the base and 80 mph winds at the top, but nothing could beat the view of the Las Vegas strip at the summit bivi! This route envolved a long hike in, wide selection of climbing (Both partners bring free shoes! Makes It more fun), awesome bivi ledges with great views and a mother@#$% of a hike out. Sums up to be a great wall! Next I'm heading East.

I know it's been a little slow, but please keep in mind this forum is for aid climbing beta, technique, and other commentary about aid systems. Trip report are another forum. Heck, hopefully we'll all have some good stories soon. :wink:

I understand this isn't the trip report forum, but a little wall psych pumps us all up. I didn't mean to emply the forum is boring; this is my first hit on the internet every night! Reading about other wall climbers gives me motivation when I'm stuck doing something else.

Big deal If it is considered a grade IV, it's fun ass place to hang out! Drinking beer, good views, kickin tunes.... We weren't concerned about grade III, IV or V or whatever! That cliff is Rad!! I want to do more routes up there. :D Cheers,

I just climbed a Grade IV in the Valley. It should have only taken a "long day for an experienced party" but we took two. It is called the Zodiac. Trip report soon. TRADitionally yours, Cali Dirtbag

No way!!! TWO days on Zodiac?!?! Dick. :P I'll be happy to be fixed to the top of P4 at the end of day 2. Nice job, Paul. Looking forward to hearing all about it. And I'm sure I'll have a few questions. Ed

Most recent walls I climbed were in 2001... Muir, NW face Half Dome, and Tempest. Currently too involved in backcountry fishing and skiing to think about walls. Brutus
