west Country. Think my fat a** could get up this mellow route. So discouraging when fit in one sport and yet it doesn't cross-over to help me with climbing:-(

Dang, Gina!! That's a full dance card! Be safe! (Is Snake Dyke and Snake Dike the same place? I've only seen references to Snake Dike)
OK ... Please give me your personal tips on leading for the first time. I think I may lack the experience you have!

Dang, Gina!! That's a full dance card! Well we only live a couple hours from all those places and we are typically in the Valley this time of year a several days a week. I can't really climb
much above 5.8 without it being a death struggle so it's hard to find easier stuff for this old gal.
As for leading...I'm not one to give advice..except I carry about twice as much gear as a guide book will recommend place about twice as much as recommended , never run out .. I weight each piece about 6 different ways from Hannah, and they are the easiest climbs you can find. My big objective this spring is to get dialed in on jumaring and try some
aid climbing.
What looks to be your strength to weight ratio you'll be an awesome leader. Have unconditional trust in whomever will teach you and ask lots of questions and never assume. Yes Snake Dike and Dyke are the same.
I'm way too old to be stoked by leading...my guess is you will be bitten, big time.

I still have to finish Nutcracker. Only done the first 2 pitches. Got em clean on the first attempt. I think I am ready for the mantle crux.

actually, since this will be my second time on Mt. Lemmon, would like to lead something in the 5.7/8 range.

I'm with the 5.3d crowd although I could push myself into the 5.4a/b realm if it wasn't to heady.

As a bipedal hominid I'd be happy with Disco Jesus. But when I'm reincarnated as The Lizard King, I'll be gunning for the Salathe.
