matt_warfield Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yes, if the slacker had been two days faster, it would have been the second ascent. What a loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_warfield Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Yes, and I wonder when the Euros will try Sharma's Mallorca route. It's got a little overhead to it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I would imagine it's been tried by a few already. As has Akira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Trippett Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 sorta related....anyone care to guess when we'll see 5.16? Seems to be headed in that direction quickly....David Lama and Adam Ondra are like what? A combined age of 28?...and are sending hard 14's with astonishing regularity. Pretty soon 5.13 will be "moderate", if it's not already. I'm going curling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 5.13 is already mainstream. Look around BC as an example, in pretty much any small sized climbing community - Revelstoke, Pemberton, Golden, Cranbrook, Nelson, Nanaimo, Campbell River, Mission... I don't know about Terrace but maybe up there too.. there are established 5.13s and local climbers that climb at that level. Most of whom no-one has ever heard of except other locals.

Â If you look in the old Climbing - Rock & Ice rags the hot flashes were Lynn Hill onsighting 12d or the amazing onsight on 13a. Now days dudes are gunning for "How to climb 5.13" instead of the 5.12 standard of being elite. It's funny how you can work your ass off to send a 12c and the kids these days casually say "oh it has a cruzin 5.12 finish".

gertlush Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Yeah 5.12 still seems pretty elite when you're plugging in gear...I've heard of a few 5.14 trad routes but few & far between.

sexual_chocolate Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 prolly mainly cuz face lends itself better to hard climbing, and few cracks in limestone, home of most hards. Â and it's harder to chip a trad line into existence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMR Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 There's one in PA! Full blown sawed into a quarry...i believe it was bolted for pro though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
