I stemmed out on the slot near the top of 100% columbian. My belayer called me a "trad climber"...
He was just jealous he didn't think of it first.

You don't pay attention do you? We will be at the Red. I didn't make that connekshun. Come to Rumney! Why would we do that? Rumney sucks compared to the Red (sorry, but the Red is pretty rad and has at least 15x as much rock). Why is it that like every picture I see of Rumney it looks like the route has a) some big ledgefall potential, and 2) some dihedral wall that gets stemmed off of, even on the 5.13s. I would like to check the place out sometime, preferably when I am in good power/bouldering shape. I don't think that's a good representation of how rumney climbs. I've never been afraid i was going to hit a ledge. there is stemming on stuff that's in dihedrals but that isnt a majority no ledges or stems on Predator ;) [image]http://mountainproject.com/images/53/16/106235316_large_75a775.jpg[/image] 1. that picture is tilted to make it look steeper. 2. That is the only route like that. It is NOT tilted.. it's freaking steep. http://mountainproject.com/...ange_crush/105884551  Jay conway being a nut [image]http://mountainproject.com/images/72/61/105877261_large_ef221e.jpg[/image] Lee doing the Man Overboard bat hang...

that picture is both tilted and on a fisheye.
also, possibly worse belay ever?

Why was this even bolted? It looks terrible! Like, 5.8 choss to a v3+ move that climbs like it was set by the tall campusing meatheads in basketball shorts at the college climbing wall.

Not a fish eye... not tilted. rocky ground is angled up towards the base of the wall like > Jay and Jay belay each other all the time. he's in a bomber knee bar rest. The route is 70ish degrees overhanging
Joe kinder on it

Kevin J soloing it or the one next to it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCFG-d6Ldl4
you should try it to see how V3 pulling the roof is  stronger people than you have been spanked hard
Jay it was most likely taken from the start ledge. so yea.. straight up.
anyway.. make a trip sometime. Pro's from all over the world don't show up for nothing.

Jake, I know that you love Rumney and want to defend it, but face the facts.
RRG = 1920 Routes at 145 Walls in 10 Regions
Yes, there are a number of steep climbs at Rumney, but there are single crags at the Red that have more steep climbs than all of Rumney. The climbs at the Red tend to be long too. There are some long climbs at Rumney, but in general the routes tend to be short....even if they aren't short they're often still very bouldery.
In closing: Jake, go to the Red. You need to get out of the North East.

werd.
And yeah, I need to get to Rumney, too; it is a huge gap in my overall climbing experience across the nation.
I still think that the above climb I was dissing on looks terrible, though.
Just to compete, here's some RRG porn:

What I got on was fun for the most part. I really sucked at it 'cause it was so bouldery, but it would be a good place to go and work my weaknesses for a while.
