Funnest route you ever climbed
|
|
The East Ridge of Wolf's Head in Wyoming was by far the most fun I have ever had on a route. It was just such a delight seeing each new obstacle and weird path we had to take. And I'm telling you, doing it with a conga line of people even added to the fun, which is highly unusual. On a vertical route, that would be awful. But seeing how you had to climb through each new thing added to the anticipation. I'm sure it would have felt different if we were alone, and possibly even better, but I really enjoyed this outing a lot as it was. If you haven't done this ridge traverse before, put it on the list. You can easily pass anyone if you need to. |

I was pretty solid in the 10s at the time and was totally humbled by that thing. I had a number 3 tip out halfway up and was looking at a ground fall. Definitely not my favorite but it sure was a humbling piece of rick. |

When thinking about the most fun i’ve had, the below come to mind: Atlantis and Don Juan Wall - beautiful lines, beautiful rock, beautiful setting. every pitch on each climb was just so much fun. The Nose - did it with no crowds and mostly ideal weather/temps. I guess my partner and I must have gotten lucky Erect Direction - i don’t think i’ve ever enjoyed a climb at the Gunks as much as this oneFishhook Arete with East Arete descent - pure oxygen deprived fun |

Favorite day on the rocks ever was climbing the beckey route in little cottonwood with my 15 year old son and two awesome guys (Geoff and Daniel Connnor)I taught how to climb in the mid 90s. Now they are crushing life and having fun in the mountains. For my own self serving enjoyment Rode hard and put up wet at foster falls Tn and dangling woo lee master in the big horn sheep mating grotto |

3rd flatiron solo, easy but plenty of air under your butt. Nice big rap off the back. |

Steck Salathe undoubtedly! |

Pioneer Route on Monkey Face at Smith. Towers are fun. |
|

Maiden voyage to king me |
|

Most fun was Open Book, Finger of Fate, Sawtooths and whatever route my 11-year old son and I climbed last |
|

Can't believe no one has mentioned Serenity/Sons in the valley. Such great fun that when it is over you just want to do it again, and again. |

As far as pure type 1 fun goes High E is my favorite of all time. Especially belaying my buddies that haven't done it yet on the crux pitch. |

Gunsight to South Peak at Seneca Rocks was wildly fun for a new trad leader such as myself |
|

Wow! I was not aware of Gunsight to South Peak. That is a trippy 5.4. Beautiful! |

Prince of Darkness when it was all rusty and bent 1/4" spinners is also on the top of the list. |

Rebuffat-Baquet, South face of the Aigulle du Midi. |

Funny? |

I don’t climb outside much but I would say Stinkwater at Ney Springs. |

I'd go with synapse collapse 11d at the cannabis wall in red rock. just 35 feet of the most perfect 45 degree overhung jug hauling and if it's right at your limit the end feels super desperate, but you know you can just gun it because the fall is completely safe. That, and maybe Sundial at Miller fork in the RRG, which is more like 80 feet of perfect technical face climbing, no extra holds, and a hand jam thrown in for fun. |
