The Raging Raven

Went over to Pitchoff today to do some climbing. Matt and I had a bit of time between errands, so we grabbed a rope and some quickdraws and headed out. There is a climb there called the Raging Raven and it goes at 5.11b. It's all bolts, steep climbing, small holds, or long moves between good holds. Also, sustained and in your face most of the way. Very much fun. After I onsighted it, Matt and I proceeded to do some laps. I did nine, and fell once on eight and nine.

That's a pretty good workout.

No I haven't, not until just now. The description looks pretty good. I want to start with Drop, Die, or Fly, then Fear and Loathing in Keene Valley, then Romano's Route, then It's Only Entertainment, then White Knight. Start at 5.11a then hit 5.11b, 5.11c, 5.11d. culminating in 5.12a. Woo hoo!

i have heard nothing but good things about all of them. but why go in order? wk is a splitter - you can sport 12a, why not just go for it? worst comes to worst you take big clean falls. the first 30 ft are nbd.

....do it... it will be dry...
