I haven't read any of the above posts, but just saw these. Indeed, many of the rattings were lowered. I have a copy of all Bill Robbins notes/work. They very a lot with what Jim Yoder says in his guide book.
Hey MCash and Catbirdseat, where have you guys been? I stopped going to Vantage for a while and have been hitting up Tieton. I had climbed out most gear placement routes and got bored with the place. But, I have been going there a ton lately, about every other day working the harder problems that I skipped over way back when. It's a lot of fun and I haven't seen any of you guys in a long time.
