hard routes at ozone

[d_sowerby]

David S made a good point about assigning a grade, that if you are having a good day, it may seem a bit easy; an off day and its a bit hard. So to really get a good feel for a routes difficulty, you need to climb it a bunch over time.

 

Just sending a route once makes ones opinion a bit less robust imo.

I agree with you about my point, it was good :-). Going back to a route a year later (?) sounds like a good idea, but :

You could have another good/bad day, throwing off your original grade

You know the moves - I used to do Angular Motion as a warm-up, was it still 12a?

it seemed a lot easier :-)

I don't think the grading of climbs is going to get better/worse anytime soon - this is a good thing after all, look at how much fun we have discussing/spraying about them? -----------david
