50 Lazy Instabro classics
|
|
Riffing off the other 50 thread. What are the 50 most instagrammable climbs achievable by a gymbro/gal who goes outside a few times a year? Rules: 1) No more 20 minutes from the road (and no hustling) 2) Can be Trad, sport, or boulder 3) Nothing PG13/R 4) No harder than extremely soft 12a 5) Looks great in photos |

I would say the angler but it might not match point (4) since its the hardest v2 in the world |
|
|
Stefanos Apostlewrote: Even if you were a noodle and gave it V4, it would still qualify. Therefore, I second your notion. |
|
|
I thought 5.12 was just a bunch of v1s stacked on top of each other?? |

Big Bad Wolf for sure. I can't imagine how many posts there are on IG of people on that topout ledge saying they just did their first multipitch. I also don't think any other route here has to get the hangers of the first few bolts removed fairly often to keep people off it after heavy rain because it's such a junkshow. |
|
|
What’s the approach like for the first and second flatiron? |
|
|
Ro-Shampo or Starry Night in the Red? |
|
|
Shark Fin Arete for certain. Anything from Holcomb Valley. Bonus if gym belay cards are visible. |
|
|
Squamish selections. Starchek, frontside 180, Spirit of Squamish. Majestic |
|
|
Most of Holcomb…. |
|
|
anything on the first 3 pull outs on the red rock loop. it's basically an outdoor gym. most of tensleep |

Also, this thread should be renamed to '50 classic climbs to avoid' |
|

John Clarkwrote: They qualify, if for no other reason than out of principle. Luigi Mwrote: Ironically, this is also what most people refer to the original. The “fifty (classic) crowded climbs” |
|
|
Legends Never Die (5.11+), St George Utah |
|
|
Its PG13 but the edge of time The Angler, because the climbing on it is awful, should be the first to qualify. Bershears crack Monkey bar traverse Anything at Chuckwalla wall Circus in the Wind |
