I've never thought about keeping an exact list of every route I've done, but if I sat down with the guide books I'm sure I could get close.

To give an idea though ...

King's Bluff:

All routes 5.6-5.9

Some 5.10's

Foster Falls:

All routes 5.6-5.9

Some 5.10's

Obed:

Various

Red River Gorge:

Various

Horse Pens:

Various

Little Rock City:

Various

I don't climb a lot of the harder routes outdoors because my two primary partners don't climb at my level yet so I climb at their level and just enjoy the experience unless I just find a route that I feel a huge desire to climb.

yeah, i've never been one to keep a tick-list. the closest i come is marking some of my favorites.

done a few (about a week's worth) in J-tree (mostly following); a BUNCH in linville gorge (including ship rock); several in new river gorge, stone mtn, looking glass; worked pilot rock, hanging rock, sauratown exhaustively, etc. etc. etc.

that's about the extent of the depth of my record keeping :)

amusingly enough, i get to routes with friends and they ask "what's this one?" to which typically i can only reply, "i dunno. i forgot, but it's fun."

the fun part is what i think is most important after all.

Hey chilli what did you climb at looking glass? How many pitches was it? What was the rating?

don't get the wrong impression. i wasn't working glass menagerie or anything. looking glass has a huge variety of climbs. i spent most of my time there on the shorter routes of looking glass (fear of flying was a fun one, dingus dog was challenging, and there were a couple others on the south and hidden walls). longest i did were 4 pitches on sundial crack and air raid. i never did the nose route. never did any of the crazy long tough ones or aid routes; only went sharp end on the easy ones; and spent a lot of time learning since that was where i was really getting a solid start on a larger scale (up to then it was cranking on shorter routes and learning the ropes).

sorry about the lack of details, but like i said, it's the fun that counts for me (and last time i was up there was a few years ago). all ratings tell me is a ballpark for what will be a good challenge and what will be frustrating. if you want to look up the ratings for the few that i could remember, i'm sure you can find them (no offensive tone intended).

in retrospect i'd love to take another trip up there, hang out with some old friends, and hit up some more routes.

be well.

Have you ever been to the movies in winston-salem? If you ever go there to the grand theater. I was the guy who put the sign letters up at the top of the building.

From what I understand stone mountain has some very bold climbs.

I looked up some of those climbs that you listed. Did you topout / summit on sundial? Are there ledges at the chain stations?

With the weather getting "not so good" where are you climbing now?

haven't seen it, but i'll have to check that out sometime when i'm in winston. i get up that way sometimes on the way through.

i've not heard of topping out sundial really being something that's done (even though i'm sure somebody's done it before). we rapped the nose (followed a couple of other guys down who had just finished it), though i was told that's a bit of a faux pas on these busy days and there's a set of stations near that huge ledge up there that you're supposed to use instead to avoid a traffic jamb.

when the weather's frosty i kind of turn into a gym-rat. as busy as i am these days, i've sort of (woefully) turned into a fair weather climber. i only head outdoors if it's going to be a nice day, since it's a pretty good drive to do anything more than bouldering in asheboro. (even that is a bit of a haul). south faces are decent during the cooler periods, but you can only work pilot so many ways, and sauratown's all burned up (other options are a long drive - and thus not condusive to a busy schedule). i made the mistake only once of going to moore's wall (near pilot & sauratown)in the cold. it's a great trad spot for warmer weather, but a lot of the wall is basically in a northward direction, so it sucks when it's cold.
