TrogdortheBurninator Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hey Lucky, I climbed a route with your name scratched into the hangers down at riverview park on saturday. Route started steep and ended at a left facing corner/crack. Couldn't find it in the yoder book, but a rock below it had 10C written in chalk. Nice route, good fun. Personally I think the bolted climbs below sunshine and west of sunshine are way more fun than those on sunshine. I always have fun at vantage and the overbolted sport climbs and soft grades are great for getting your early season head going. I also always enjoy the nose up my ass trad climbs, but the pro always sketches me out a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtveld Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 FWIW, after the FA of “Sensimilla”, Laural and I rated it 10b. We named it Block Party, but that didn’t stick either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Yngve Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yeah, maybe if I had my lead-head straight and placed half as many pieces, it would have felt 10b. If you would have seen me leading it and TRing it after (partner wasn't up to following it), it would have looked like I was leading a 10d and TRing a 10a. My lead-head sucks right now.

DirtyHarry Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Its pretty tricky to get head while on lead, that's fo sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashw_justin Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Sensimilla felt like 5.6c, no wait 5.6b, and I fell on it. You must all be very weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_detrick Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 My two cents, I belive it depends on the quality of the crack, to me pony keg is harder than air guitar, only because it is alkward to climb,and I can't get my hands in clean.
