Unrepeated or rarly repeated routes list - some help

Postby john » Fri Apr 02, 2010 10:48 pm

Some areas I have been second and third ascents are coveted nearly as much as first ascents. I was trying to think of a list of not repeated routes or rarely repeated routes that need some traffic. I am trying to get a tick list for motivation for the summer for me and a few others.

can anyone help, I am not sure if some of these have been repeated or not. Or if anyone else has been climbing the rarey repeated ones

Cochrane lane (not repeated?)
Let freedom ring
Peer Pressure
Reno dihreadral (rebolted?)
Roadblock
Serenity
Solstice
Wouldnt rather be anywhere else (with or without bolt)
Lady bug
funambule
Bogen free

Eagle rock
Diurnal pegs free


Greenlaw
Top Gun

Cochrane lane (Rarely done but quality)
Lithium Crystals
Bird of Fire
teenage arete
pursuit of happiness
waterfall arete
grandpas demise
cicatrice?

I've done Reno Dyhedro since Dave Peabody rebolted it and cleaned it.

Did Waterfall Arete two weeks ago and finished with my headlamp on....hehe
I also got on Pursuit of Hapiness two weeks ago but didnt get it clean...

I have to say that Reno Dyhedro is an amazing line and deserves 3 thumbs up IMHO...
So much rock, so little time

I'm wondering how often '8-4-7' in the attic is climbed? I think this route to be one of the nicest pitches in welsford and I don't believe many people get on it per season?

Bird of Fire is definitely a Minkey Wall classic IMHO! Mostly 5.8 with a couple delicate crux sections, with the upper crux (approx. half-way just past the tree-ledge at 10b) being the hardest. Pro is bomber; the route takes a mix of small to medium pieces. And a great fixe anchor on top now!

I'd like to someone pull solstice! Has anyone else freed this route?
