whirlwind Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 ok so i was wondering if linked two 5.6 pitches together, can i say i climbed a 5.12 pitch? what about if i climbed a 5.6 and a 5.7 would that be 5.13 or 5.12b? what about two 5.10's, would that be a new record? 5.20 or would it be a 6.0 where does the 5.whatever stop and the 6.0 start? if i sit start on dedra does the rating go up? would free soloing the grandwall be considered a boulder problem? if so would a sit start increase the rating?

EWolfe Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 All very good questions. Â I think you should ask Dr. Stupid Quote

mec Posted May 3, 2005 Posted May 3, 2005 ok so i was wondering if linked two 5.6 pitches together, can i say i climbed a 5.12 pitch?  Yep, just be sure to tell Rock and Ice first.  what about if i climbed a 5.6 and a 5.7 would that be 5.13 or 5.12b?  sorry, only a 5.12b  what about two 5.10's, would that be a new record? 5.20 or would it be a 6.0 where does the 5.whatever stop and the 6.0 start? 5 never stops, you can just keep adding them up.  if i sit start on dedra does the rating go up? No, diedre is too easy to get a sit start rating  would free soloing the grandwall be considered a boulder problem? if so would a sit start increase the rating? yes, all free soloing is just like bouldering. and the sit start for the grandwall must add at least an e or an f to the rating.
