Best Sport Route in the Red!?
|
What is the all time best sport route, under 5.13(for the sake of us mere mortals ), in the Red and why does this, in your opinion, reign supreme? Please, no slab routes, I am highly allergic to merely the mention of such a style of climbing. |

Slabalito at Muir Valley |

Mercy! The Huff! |

|
Crack Attack. The best jug haul of my life. |
|
Slabalito...you're fired! |
|
Bathtub Mary is pretty sweet. One thing I’ll say is it has a little bit of everything...thin technical climbing in the start, pumpy endurance on the headwall, then overhanging jughaul at the finish. |
|
Hakuna Matata I think @ Drive-By is insanely good. Closer to vertical than your average RRG climb. Nice. Long. Mercy The Huff is also insanely good. Both are 12a (or maybe b). |
|
Of all the routes i've done i'd pick either Swedish Fish, Cell Block Six, or Amarillo Sunset. |
|
Swedish Fish.
Impressive, long, diversely featured, interesting and fun movement, no direct neighboring climbs. |
|
amarillo sunset for sure, also oompa and loompa (10a/10c), and super best friends (12b) is AMAZING. |
|
Nolan, definitely in the running for the worst route in the gorge, pre and post artificial hold. |
|
Twinkie. Has both a slab and classic jughauling. |

Prime Directive at Funk Rock. About as good as it gets! |
|
Banshee and Prime Directive, but gotta say Jungle Beat is one of the most amazing climbs I've been on anywhere, gotta love the + grade |
|
Red has so many! |
