Recommend RR class IV routes
|
Hey all! |
|
What about ..... |
|
Damn. Planning on doing that in a day? |
|
Looking at your profile(leads 5.9 trad, leads .11c sport)... and it's pitches, it matches up perfectly. The gear pitches are all 5.9 and the harder pitches are 5.10c but bolted. |

Thanks for the recommendations y'all. I've got another question. We have a single rope and a tag line (tag line doesnt get much use because full rope rappels are seldom required here). Do any of y'all use single ropes or are double ropes pretty much the only way to go at RR? |

Imagine RR as a big outdoor gym. You will be fine with essentially any set up. |

Inti is shaded, btw, so could be a sufferfest if it's super cold. I have climbed it that time of year. Also, I wouldn't really call it grade IV unless you do the RA linkup. It goes fairly fast with all of the bolts. Still worth doing. |

thanks for the advice y'all! It sounds like a 70m will get me down most rappels I need. |

Inti is a soft IV. How committing is a route if you just rap back down the route? A better grade IV is Epinephrine or Texanephrine. Up and over on those routes gives the route a far greater sense of commitment than rappelling back down the route. But, if you're looking for a long climb then Inti would be a great intro for that. |

The approach is a process, but you've climbed it, so you knew that, yes? |
