Ascensions dans West Virginia contenant Bêta

Really fun line at the end of the pillar/wall. Crux is after the second bolt, straight up to unseen 3rd bolt. Move out to the arete after the 4th bolt to top. Say "Hi" to Superman.

very pleasant

FFA.

An egregiously bolted crack. Really the only egregiously bolted crack we climbed at reeds or smoke hole... but dang, this is a G trad route, not a sport climb!! Climbed on gear.

FFA.

Could use some cleanup of loose rocks at the first roof

It's a hard move over the roof. Height dependent.

Another enjoyable climb with a bit of sandy rock to start.

Established this route for Michal Macdaddy Stoneman for his (number withheld) birthday, jumped on the sharp end right behind Himself and Randy LaForce.

FFA.

From such crumbly beginnings, a great route emerges.

Nice. The bottom section requires technique. Goes as either a stem or an off-width. Slightly hard for it's grade.

An awkward move between 2nd and 3rd bolts at the crux. About the same as Bridge Burner if you don't reach to the left corner near Winter Harvest.

One of the best routes I've lead at Reed's. Hold are thin up at the crux but they are all there.

The bolt at the crux is not optimally placed - it's too far left.

FFA.

There is a bolt above the lip of the second overhang that you can't see from below. You can go straight over the left side of the roof (holds are actually solid; good invisible letterboxes) or you can travese left. A couple of cans inspire confidence on this route.

Split personality route. Probably would have climbed better as a mixed trad route with better bolt placements. Not a fan.

An excellant climb. The upper section is like a baby High Exposure (in the Gunks)

Established and worked the line on lead and TR until shoulder failed. Made it through but could never link the moves without falling.

Then the Renovator, Ryan Eubank, crushed the moves and sent the first free ascent after a full day of trail work and a beer at the first Reed Creek Trail Daze and Send-a-thon.

Easy climbing and then WOW the blankest roof you've ever done seen. It'd be a real project .

Kind of awkward to clip the chains on the shuts.

FFA.

Someone had to clean it. Not great to lead or second, felt harder than 10a if you are short off the hands free ledge at 5th bolt. MP gives it 5.10c/d which is more realistic. Nice start but the bolting, rock and line after that aren’t great.

Nice easy, fun, long route.

FFA.

Powerful boulder start. Tried this for the the first climb of the day and couldn't get past the move off the ground. Rest of the climb looks good. Want to come back to destroy this puppy.

Stick clipping is not necessary.

The opening moves are the crux, and they are not hard. Good big holds. Very mellow and fun after 2nd bolt. Water pours down the face after a good rain, hence the name.

The bouldery start is probably harder than 5.8 if you don't find the easiest way.

Nice warm up. A little on the short side.

Could be 5.9-.

First line bolted on this wall.

A bit sandy to start, nothing wrong with a stick clip for the first bolt, or leaving a 'biner to bail.

Gear is cheap, broken bones expensive.

Nice route, good warm up

Grounder if you fell clipping 3rd bolt. Could be 5.9+

Nice wall with interesting climbing due to the diagonal nature of the bedding plane

First route Chris and I did after finding this crag.

Great warmup.

Friction face climbing up this one, named in honor of the hill you have to climb to get to this hidden crag.

First Free Assent at this crag.

Chris's first bolted route, and a fine one

A good first trad lead for a beginning leader.

Best Climb at this crag, steep and sustained
