Hey all. I had a cabin over the weekend in Peaceful Valley. Cabin butted up to a great looking wall with three bolted routes. Owner said as long as you were renting feel free to climb all you want. Anyone familiar with the routes or area?

Thanks

I am heading into my second full year climbing and am in the middle of my first year of outdoor climbing. I have taken classes, been mentored and lucky enough to work with some great people. I have gotten out 7 times this season. I have been lucky enough to climb with folks who are willing to help m...

Congrats! Definitely check it out down the road!

So, it looks like your trip is right around the corner. You still coming down?

PM sent Clifton.

Really appreciate all of the feedback. Definitely hope to climb higher and harder grades. Just setting my sights on some early gains and confidence building climbs. This forum has already provided some great feedback and good connections. Glad to be here.

Agree a guide will be helpful/essential. Trying to put together a list of things to shop for as well.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks. My partner and I seem to have all of that covered. Still working on the necessary knowledge piece. Spent a good part of the night hanging on a wall working on the steps for cleaning. I have a grigri but felt I should get an ATC/Rappel device as well and the knowledge to use it.

What do you all recommend a new sport climber have in their gear set up? Looking to climb in the 40 - 50 ft range 5.7/5.8.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Thanks for all of the feedback. Rest assured I will not be going out alone. When I took up snowboarding I took lessons and spent the first full season on the bunny slope. I did not even venture out on green run until my second year. With that said I love reading and researching the things that I do ...

Not yet. It was the first class of three. Spent most the time clippping and unclipping. Mock lead one route and cleaned gear from the route. Have not worked on setting or cleaning anchors yet.

Thanks for the feedback. I have climbed outdoors three times all of which was bouldering (Muscatauck and RRG). I took my first intro to lead climbing class last night. I really plan on starting out on the shorter intro routs this year and working on develping good technique before I move to anything...

Hey all. Just wanted to ask about good resource material for reading on making the transition from gym climbing to crag climbing. I have seen a book Climbing: From Gym to Crag (published in 2000) on the subject and wondered if it was a good place to start. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank...
