Vantage Grades

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.

FWIW, after the FA of “Sensimilla”, Laural and I rated it 10b. We named it Block Party, but that didn’t stick either.

I like the cracks on sunshine wall, just not the rockfall,crowds, or attitudes...weekdays rule for sunshine wall

BTW now that I have smashed and broke my big toe at work, I am reduced to just talk'n smack and not climbing...I am soooo phuk'n bummmmmed

 

GOOOOOOOD morning AMERICA

A more accurate rating IMO.

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.

Its pretty tricky to get head while on lead, that's fo sure.

Sensimilla felt like 5.6c, no wait 5.6b, and I fell on it. You must all be very weak.

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.
