Still doesn't mean the scale doesn't work.... You find the two numbers that best describe the person and then average them for the value...

This is the way to judge a potential GF From worst to best on a 1 to 10 scale... 1.) five pounds of make-up, hair done to the nines, nails polished and likely fake, would never in a million years consider climbing as viable foreplay... 2.) four and half pounds of make-up, hair done to the nines, nails polished and likely fake, would never in a thousand years consider climbing as viable foreplay… 3.) four pounds of make-up, hair done to the nines, nails polished and likely real, would never in a hundred years consider climbing as viable foreplay… 4.) three pounds of make-up, hair done to the nines, nails manicured and likely real (no polish), would never in a lifetime consider climbing as viable foreplay… 5.) 2 1/2 pounds of make-up, hair combed and in place, nails manicured, thinks climbing is stupid, but willing to try…thinks climbers are cool, if stupid 6.) 1 pound of make-up, hair combed, nails trimmed, thinks climbing is cool, and willing to try once but doesn't like it…usually fit, gets turned on by climbers 7.) 1/2 pound of make-up, hair combed, nails trimmed, thinks climbing rox! Already climbs, very fit and into other stuff… 8.) No make up, prefers au natural (some windburn a plus), climbs 5.10 consistently, very fit…willing to go somewhere at the drop of a hat…climbing gets her worked up 9.) No make up, prefers au natural (some windburn a plus), climbs 5.12 consistently, very fit…willing to go somewhere at the drop of a hat…climbing is foreplay 10.) kicks my a$$ at climbing, 'nuff said.

Time's up is an amazing route! Go-dog-go is good, but Time's up is excellent and won't be a great warm weather route...i'd do it now while its cold!!!

No lie... If you have a chance to go, just go...never been rained out...and the ice fogs are only in december...
-
colossus and the rest of the routes on that formation are really good as well... And don't forget the mega classic she's the bosch, spud-?, cairo, etc.

Not so much "strong" as in tenacious as all get out...V rating isn't all that impressive, but stick him on a climb and the fucker doesn't let go...Have not climbed w/ him except on sport routes, so can't say alpine...but do know his personality, he's a scrappy little shit...

He's not an avatar...those pics he posted...that's him...

I can absolutely guarantee that glasglowkiss is NOT caveman or trask...

Dr. K ice climbs in scuba gloves...don't know how they'd work for ice since i don't climb ice, but i do dive around here and they work well under Puget Sound...dexterity is decent also...

Not entirely relative...more that for dick-head, 5.11 is sick hard perchance...
-
Ummm..."Sick hard 5.11 crack climber" doesn't go together unless you happen to be ill w/ the flu, reading a penthouse and then start climbing... I'm not sure what the definition of "sick, hard" crack climbing is, but i don't think 5.11 is in it...maybe its relative though...

Churning is indeed an evolving living route!! BAWAHAHAHAHA Used to be that there was a giganto foot ledge from which to recompose yourself at the sixth bolt while hanging onto a juggo-hold...Chris Schneider broke off the foothold while he and shelly presson were working the route...CS didn't like SP and proceeded to smash said foothold into powder before it could get glued back on. Foothold helped a ton if you were short (like shelly)...route is actually much better now that the thing is gone...replaces a stance w/ a quik shake and then keep on keeping on until the seventh and then ultimate redpoint satisfaction!!! BAWAHHAHAHAHAHA I think the number of fingers crammed into the holds are artificially deepening the pockets and comfortizing them...you almost need a fricken Number-being-Served to get on that route... Check this story out w/ CrazyPolishedNob! I think he was there w/ a group of us when the schnyde lost it...Man, he was a tool!!

I was one of those guys about 18 years ago. Had been climbing for about a month when my partner thought it was time for me to lead something. I had Dru's "part a" down pretty well, being a young buck back then. Wasn't quite there with "part b" yet, though I didn't know that just then. It was a 5.9 at Bridge Buttress in the New River Gorge in WV. It was also my partner's "keen" idea to sell me on the climb as a 5.6, me not yet able to look at it and be able to tell the difference. It's called "sandbagging", and watch out for it, A-gal. As has been said here before, go with someone you trust first. It cost me two - TWO! - 30-footers, back to back, because I had overclimbed my last piece on a layback and futzed around too long on one arm trying to build an anchor with the other one. Not once, but twice! So spend some time with a rack of gear making placements. I walked around campus for two weeks placing gear in any crack I could find between classes. It helped tremendously when I returned and climbed the route cleanly. Luckily I was not hurt in the falls because they were airballs, but the sudden stop DID hurt. Learn how to fall as well. 'nuff said. ...sobo Ha!! I know the route i bet...is it that Layback thing called, "Layback"?? Man, that thing was/is a slippery mofo... What did you think of angel's arete??? Man, that thing was classic...soloed that as an 18 year-old...stupidest thing i had done yet! GAWD I miss the new!!!

Its usually found in the front of most area guidebooks, that a party willing to lead or that is actively working for a redpoint has priority over gang-toprope priority. Also, gang-toproping some rock types actually polishes the rock...some guidebooks even ask that you don't gang top rope...guidebooks are not the law, however
