summitchaserCJB Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 Oh well. I almost went and created a new one but then I lost motivation. Quote
Crillz Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Screw all you chestbeaters. You send Thin Fingers and you can claim a 5.11 at Index (assuming you don't skirt the crux). Plain and simple. Doesn't mean you can send all of the 5.11s or even any of the other 5.11s, But... it does mean you sent a wicked f'n line! Quote

summitchaserCJB Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 yep. Sorry didn't have a thin fingers pic. Quote
marc_leclerc Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 It must be 5.12 because summitchaser can pretty much cruise V4 in the gym. Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 It must be 5.15 because you've never climbed it! Quote
Dane Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Most folks who actually know how to rate a climb do it on sight and on lead. Since '78 the upper thin crack has developed a couple of blocky steps that make the final finger crack after pulling past the bulge (which was the crux) much easier. Â TF never was a technical 5.11 but an endurance climb, rated 5.11 because the pro was suspect without cams. IMO it is the easiest "5.11" at LTW. Best may be to ask Daryl Cramer what he now thinks TF should be rated. Â "Chris Henson plugs a perfect cam on Thin Fingers (5.11a), Lower Town Wall."

Sol Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I was stoked to climb the delicate slab move this year after skiriting around it for years. 10+ Quote
summitchaserCJB Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 Props man I sat for like 10 minutes trying to do that. Quote
