fing gym rats rave.

[whirlwind]

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+

[EWolfe]

STFU, Meanie! I pitched off a 5.7a- yesterday.

[griz]

So a 5.8b+ on the fake shit is like climbing a 5.4d on real rock?

 

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...

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.
