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.

" Have fun and leave the cam hooks on the ground in Zion; you will never need them and they just destroy the rock."

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?

The Goods. Ice and a dash of Club. Now get on with 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!!
