whirlwind Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 ok so i'm in the gym this evening and i notice one of the routes is rated 5.8b+, now what the f##@ does that mean? i mean come on is it 5.8 till unless you don't use the yellow hold, then its 8b and if you don't use the yellow or the green one it becomes 5.8b+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 STFU, Meanie! I pitched off a 5.7a- yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griz Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) So a 5.8b+ on the fake shit is like climbing a 5.4d on real rock? Â Who knows though maybe the rte setters have a sense of humor too? They probably hear some pretty stupid shit from the lame ass gym rat crowd...

whirlwind Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 good point but i don't know, there are a shit load of posers in bellingham like me i only climb 5.8a thats why i was pissed cause i coun't figure out how to make the blue tape route (the 5.8b+) into a straight 5.8a- so i tryed and got really pumped cause the belayer gave me shitty beta, and i pitched cause i did it the 5.8+ way, or was it the 5.8b way, shit now i'm all confused damit.
