TR solo Eldo

I can’t find much about TR soloing Eldo albeit one older post. What are some people TR solo routines at Eldo specifically? I’ve heard of people doing Blackwalk, but what is the best approach for this? East Slabs? Pseudo? Thanks for any info

Bastille has lots of options. Hairstyles for hard, West Buttress for easier. Choose your own adventure really.

East Slabs to Psychosis is a high-quality TRS option. One long pitch with a 70m:

Thanks man. Yup, thought about the Bastille but I’m kind of a weenie on the cold rock. Food for thought though

Hell yeah, been eyeballing this route actually. How would one get to the top off Psychosis from East Slabs though. Sorry if this is a dumb question but what are the rap options? Assuming your rapping in from the top of Tower One?

My favorite route to mini-trac is Hairstyles on the Bastille. Super easy to set up. I usually do a couple laps on the outer space corner to warm up because Hairstyles is pretty burly from the get go...

1) Most routes out at Cadillac crag would set up easily (but it takes some climbing to get on top of Fin One at the right side of the crag). Some anchors would be a little ways from the edge of the topout, so maybe bring long static extensions. 

2) Over the Hill area also has a walkoff, so those lines would go (at least anything left of Aerial Book). This ledge system (Levin's book calls it The Reef) actually continues all the way to the topout of Rincon, so you could do the last pitch (or two) of this line. 

3) The walkoff from Handcracker Direct goes on top of the routes near the Pony Express area, so you can reach the top of all routes between Cold Turkey and Pony Express (some route finding needed). Nearby Positively 4th St and neighboring short lines is a real easy and quick setup (unfortunately in the shade of big trees though).

4) If you want some solitude, you could go explore the Potato Chip formation and the handful of lines below it.

East Slabs to Chockstone Chimney, then rap

Walk uphill to the tree above Psychosis

Vertigo raps to get down
