The chopping block has stuff that is more sport oriented. lots of really cool stuff in custer state park. Check out triconia nail. Cool rap. Sehlobs lair is also cool. 3 rings for the elven kings is a stellar mixed climb.

Much appreciated Tradmanclimbs! Any suggestions on trad rack for the Needles. I imagine I dont need a big wall rack...........

I think the best plan is Chopping Block one day, and the Ten Pins area for the other. Sound right?

Thanks Again.
