Jim, how do you expect me to reply to your PM if you are not accepting PM's and you don't have an e-mail address listed? If you see this, I'll get there between 7:30 and 8 and climb till they close.

Duh! Sorry about that. I usually accepted emails but had turned it off for a while as some wingnut kept sending me some obnoxius items. Another time maybe.

Are the "5.10's" as hard as the "V3's" at Stone Gardens? Or is cbs just all power dynos and contact strength?

I can only do one or two V3's. I'm weak.

V3 correlates to 5.11+, no? Perhaps not at SG? Or maybe your are a 5.11 climber without realizing?

In fact, I did get up a 5.11 that evening. I haven't tried many. I have this quaint notion that I should be able to do any 5.10 first, but that I'm learning is dumb. There are plenty of V2's I can't do, yet I try the V3's. So I plan to try some more 5.11's and see what happens.

There's nothing like 5.11 to make the 5.10's feel easier...

 

(edit: but maybe I say that only because I can't climb 5.12... )
