Hey Mackley, |

Hey Mac, thanks for taking the time to thouroughly answer my questions. I appriciate it. Now I just wish I was going to the convention the next weekend too. One more question... Where is a good place to grab a cold brew after a day of climbing? |

"Where is a good place to grab a cold brew after a day of climbing?"
The Raven Cafe has a good selection of microbrews on tap as well as a good menu. Try Granite Mountain Brewing, a new nanobrewery, if they are open. Don't be lured into Prescott Brewing Company... I'll second the notion that the hike up to GM is worth it. The Classic, is well, classic and will feel hard for a 5.7 leader. If you are looking for quality lines that come in at 5.7 and under, head to the Swamp Slabs on Granite Mountain (unfortunately, MP doesn't have the greatest coverage of routes on the Swamp Slabs- there is a foldout topo available at local shops that provides the best beta). There are a handful of 2-3p routes within that grade range, and linkups often provide the most classic lines- let me know if you want specific recommendations or beta. Depending on how fast you climb and how long the approach takes, you can often climb a number of routes here in a day. Also, it stays shady in the morning, which can be nice around here. |
