olyclimber Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 There has already been one or two threads spawned off of Mike & Co's most awesome and amazing traverse, but I'm interested in everyones regard of what a Grade "X" is. Sure, for some people it is just is # of nights. But it seems to me there should be a measure of commitment. If it isn't Grade "X", then what is it? Commitment meaning there is no easy way to bail half way through the climb. Or 1/3 or 1/4. You do or die. I'm not bagging on what Layton and Co have done. I agree, if you wanna down grade it, go climb it. But I'm just wondering if "Grade "X" is not about commitment, then what is? Do we need a new rating? I'm not talking about getting married either. Spray on, bitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I read where climbers are scared of commitment. Discuss. This might include running away for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
