Best Single Pitch Trad

Can't believe no one has mentioned Eldo. Def in my top 3

Probably because it's not a single pitch trad destination. ;) Obviously, there are one-pitchers, but it's better known for multi.

The Smoke Bluffs and Cheakamus Canyon

The Trapps

Deadwater

Acadia NP

New River

Red River Gorge actually has a shit ton of single pitch trad climbs. The few I did there were pretty awesomesauce.

Huh? All that talk of needing lots o' same-size cams is just urban legend?

Yes, except when it's true

Calpyso (5.6+) Eldo. Best.

Wow. People really don't understand the concept of single pitch.

what? This topic is so flawed ,
there is no way to say unless you limit this to: 'One pitch from 10 feet long to 180 ft long"
Or limit it to Climbing zones that are short,
My favorite one pitch climbs are starts to grand climbs.
There is a one pitch climb below Serenity Crack that is an all time five star,climb but given its location its name fades . . . ,

Same with Big & Little Cottonwood Canyons.
Your faced with this in Sedona,Arizona and Zion.
Short one pitch climbs are every where .
But the most limited in hieght rocks - are in the North East

The Origanal Post !

Let's keep this one positive :) Ok, go! (searched MP, and didn't find this thread already - is that possible?)

gotta throw pembrokeshire, Wales into the mix - anyone who's climbed there would agree

City of Rocks, Indian Creek, Joshua Tree, New River Gorge.

Boom.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned City of Rocks, ID. While not as large, I would put the climbing on par with J-Tree.
