Best area for first timers to Bluies 7-Sep-2005 At 5:03:50 AM ness

I agreewith the suggestion so far:

Single pitch areas:

Shipley Upper: Nice and warm in the sun for winter, but crowded on the weekend,
ISuggested routes include (weak as i am (hard 22), lardy lady's lats (23), Hot flyer(23), and my favourite, a streaker named desire (23)),

Porters Pass, a whole selection of things, although it can be cooler down there, but the slabby Chasing Amy (21) wall is great, and has a few nice things on it, (be warned, the route Spread 'em baby" was downgraded in the book to 20, but its really a 22 (as I graded it, i never meant to hurt anyone! Chasing Amy is the best route on the wall though) ,Damien's effort (23), Nylon Happy (23), So said the King(21)

If you can get out and do longer things in Pirces pass like Smegadeath (my 2nd favourite climb) DO IT. Its hard for 23, though.

Dude - do Bladderhozen, Pierces Pass. Pitches are really nice 22, 22, 23.

Walls lookdown, hotel california!! Takes a while though.

The Freezer is also great.

Man, i could go on like this, but I'll stop there - I've probably left stuff out. I don't like Celebrity crag its OK, but you'd be better off exploring the great crags first.

I also think this sporting life is a great route
