| Looking for a good place to help a friend get dialed into aid before he joins me on one of the trade routes. We'll be there during spring falcon closures. Only looking for a pitch or two of C1 to C2.
Thanks- |  |

| The Organasm is great for a first route. They call the third pitch C2 because the rock is a little soft, not because it's scary brass or anything. Really straightforward climbing. Also gives you a chance to practice your thrash-and-dangle skills out the roof. Have fun and leave the cam hooks on the ground in Zion; you will never need them and they just destroy the rock. |  |

| Agreed. Organasm is a great intro to clean aid in Zion. |  |

I came across someones TR on Spaceshot somewhere on the web and they mention using cam hooks during the crux ... I always heard the crux gear is a Lowe Ball?? Maybe they didn't have one. What Lowe Ball(s)is it?

| Agreed. Cam hooks are very destructive in Zion...leave em at home. |  |

| Organasm would be just what you're looking for in a warm up. I think there is a short C2 aid route down by the Temple too; I think it's on the Pulpit.
The crux on Spaceshot, I think it's just a big reach with a big stopper.
Man school sucks, I wanna be in Zion!! |  |
