Techy Faces at the Red?
|
I am looking for technical vertical to less than vertical faces (and maybe slightly overhanging) at the Red in the 11c to 12c range. I know about Super Slab, the Emerald City, and a few lines at Chica Bonita. Does anyone have other suggestions? Probably the odd ball when it comes to what most like at the Red, but I thought the Emerald City was one of the coolest walls there. |

Random Precision 5.11b at The Gallery |
|
Orange Juice 12c - Funk Rock City |
|
Random Precision is awesome! Quite sustained and very fun. The Gallery is a really good area in my opinion. There are other tech climbs there that are harder (in the range you said). |
|
I second Soul Ram; one of the best vertical faces I've been on anywhere. |
|
Prime Directive is 11b, but might surprise you- plus it's great so go for it. Hardcore Jollies is nearby and closer to 12a, you can finish on L'ile Au Ceil for a more typical gorge experience and a nice long pitch in all. |
|
Thanks for the suggestions. Another trip to the Emerald City is definitely on the list. |

+1 for 'orange juice' and 'soul ram' |
|
Is soul ram in the new guidebook? I only have the old, brown cover one. |

More votes for no place like home and random precision. |

What About Bob has some slabby to vertical routes in the range you mentioned. Zen and the Art of Masturbation at the Gallery looks good and it's just to the right of Random Precision. |
