Circuits

The benefit of climbing on the LeRoy plateau is access to numerous areas all could be theoretically combined in 1 day, so why not add a friendly climbing challenge into the mix. Circuits are laid out into logical progression from area to area, you can deviate from the order, but trust me you probably don’t. If you successfully complete a challenge let me know with the form below. You will be added to the Hall of Fame! Proof is nice and if you send some big outing media, I send ya a little something nice.

LeRoy 25 for 100pts Circuit

Big Point Challenges mean Big Days. The glory of a 100pt challenge full of moderates all over the plateau.

LeRoy Big Crimpin 7 Circuit

Big Crimpin. Spending cheese? Probably not, hope your tendons can hold up to this circuit. The theme here is bad crimps. Each problem has a crux that revolves around a crimp or two and probably a bad one. Climbs fall into the v7 range so know this before getting into it. Drink lots of water, warm up properly before and like all challenges they start off at Long Valley. You will find plenty of easier jug climbs to get ready on. The challenge is as follows:

Long Valley
Wages of War
Dracula

Triple Roofs

Sunfish Pond – Tower Area

LeRoy Yin Yang Circuit

This savage circuit is a wonderful balance of power thug and technical finesse. At each of the 5 areas you will encounter a full on squeeze, slap, moan & groan wrestle following with a nearby technical masterpiece, a bonus muscle taxer tossed in on the end. In hopes by the end of the circuit you will be hating climbing and mostly yourself for deciding to try. Hiking mileage shouldn’t be a fault if you can’t complete! The challenge is as follows:

Long Valley
Pocket Protector Low
Drifting In and Out
Breathe Underwater

Coal Run
