A few of my friends and I were wondering if it was possible to set up a TR on the DC boulder. Maybe with a little creativity and some aid up the back and a rap down to the shuts it could be done. Any know if its been done? thanks

i cant give any specifics, but i bet if your creative enough you could aid it to the top of at least 1 or 2 of the routes. there only like 30 feet tall tho so it'll look pretty funny when you do it. make sure to post pics =P

I agree. TRing those routes may be scarier than leading them. And more dangerous. There are some pretty bouldery moves down low... and if you don't have draws set up to protect the swing off of the bottom of the route... wow you'd end up taking quite a ride!

If you aren't quite up to them, perhaps go and try some of the 10's on the Perot wall instead?

If you have a stick clip, you could 'sport aid' them. Tongue That way, you'll have the added benefit of rope going through the draws as directionals and reducing the swing down low.

But quite frankly, why bother? Climb something you actually CAN climb!
