NRG Suggestions for 5'1" climber
|
I've been told that a lot of the climbs at The New can tend to be a little reachy... This is great for me being 6'1 with monkey arms; my reach is the strongest part of my climbing skillset. My girlfriend however, is 5'1" and looking for suggestions. She'll only be here a few days so I figure it would be better to ask you guys instead of her getting shut down on a bunch of routes that she maybe shouldn't have been on in the first place. |

My 12-yr-old son is about 4’6” and has sent Apollo Reed and done all the moves on Super Mario. Others have recommended Black Rider for him. |

The Upper Meadow has many good options. Starry 12a, Creature 12c and Corner Pocket 13a come to mind. |

Apollo Reed is definitely in the doable category. |

Jump. |

Just try to avoid Doug Reed routes. A great climber and a great guy too but his reach is off the charts and he used it. |
