Cruiser Wasatch Trad for newer leader?
|
Looking for some easier Trad to dial in my placements and get back into the swing of things. Big, Little, Uinta (once it melts), or anywhere else really. Gracias |
|
BCC -Jigs Up/ Steorts. Jigs Up has more options to place gear on last pitch. |
|
I second Steorts. Plenty of gear options on that climb. Except the last pitch, but it's only 5.6. |
|
I'm in a similar boat right now. Try Outside Corner in BCC. At least the first pitch is very easy with loads of placement options. |
|
Steort's is excellent all the way. I also liked the first pitch of Outside Corner JCHOB wall BCC. Pentapitch minus the "5.8" slab pitch is was fun when I was new leading too. |
|
This new area is excellent. A good mix of fixed gear and trad. |
|
Thanks for all the suggestions. Looking forward to checking out the Dead Snag area and a few others once we see some sun. Cdec, what new area are you referring to? Thanks again y'all. Keep em coming if you got ideas |

Opps, not enough coffee before posting. |

Very cool. The journey home sounds perfect. Little farther south but was also looking into The Parlor Room outside of Moab next time I make it that way. Low angle cracks and hopefully graduate to Creek Cracks before too long |
|
I will make a suggestion of where not to go: the dihedrals in LCC. Many try their hand on Satan's Corner and even Lisa's Shoulder. These are not good beginner trad leads. Many have tried with several having a less than desired outcome. That said Beckey's is a good lead in the dihedrals. The same with Bushwack and the Green A. Call it what you please, Perhaps come to mind in the Green A area. |
|
I did Beckey's this afternoon actually. Straightforward climbing but the gear isn't as obvious as climbs like Perhaps. Perhaps was great and eats up cams all day. |
