Highest concentration of easy multi-pitch trad?
|
Without using the route finder, I've got a beta question: Stateside or abroad, where is the highest concentration of "easy" multi-pitch in the already developed areas around the world? Location doesn't matter. Thank you in advance. |
|
In the Northeast, it's got to be the the Gunks. |
|
Red Rock Nevada is great. |
|
+1 for Red Rock |

+1 for Red Rock |
|
The Flatirons |
|
Define easy? <5.8. or <5.11? Route finding, climbing grade, descent, approach? |
|
squamish ... |
|
At Red Rock (NV), the cruxes on the easier routes are the approach and the descent. |

Lover's Leap, South Lake Tahoe, CA |
|
Chamonix and dolomiti (the highest in Europ) |
|
Yeah, that's a fair point...what exactly do you mean by "easy"? There are tons of 2-3 pitch climbs at the Gunks in the 5.4-5.8 range, but the protection is often sketchy. Red Rock would probably be the best. |
|
+1 for the flatirons, depending on your definition of easy. Eldorado Canyon would be pretty far up there as well. Those two combined there is around 400 multipitch routes 5.11 and under. |

Time of year matters as well. You thinking of a summer or winter trip? |
|
If the Northeast, agreed about The Gunks, for lots of good 5.3 through 5.8 inclusive. |

Italy. . .no more video...? It was here and play-able, It was the Dolomites & the European ( French, Austrian Swiss Etc. ) alps....YMMV |

Now Im sure that you realize that there is a lot of multi pitch, in the region? .
