Devil's Gorge
October 25, 2009, 08:34:30 am
Is this place worth a visit? There seems to be a fair number of routes in the 7a-7b range, with Grand Canyon being one of the best routes in the guide apparently.

Or should I keep driving until I get to Dinbren?  :)

I have seen some pictures and it does look like a dark hole in the ground.

I guess nobody's been there then? Guess I'm forced to ask the unanimous knobhead collective  :(

Only just seen this thread. Grand Canyon is indeed excellent. It felt hard for 7b back in the day so possibly now worth 7b+ as I'm led to believe that stuff has fallen off it.   It was a good 12+ years ago when I did it and it still sticks in the mind. As Doylo said, it'll probably be as tad damp until next year.

Thanks Andy - yeah, guess I'm going to have to wait - unless we get a long spell of dry weather, very doubtful!  ;D
