Rain at Index today 5/24

[Crillz]

Anyone in the know? Is it wet?

 

Heading over shortly from Seattle. Should I be more prepared for aiding?

[Dane]

Dry an hr ago....might not be now.

[genepires]

the clouds are breaking around monroe right now. If it wasn't raining there this morning, I would suspect it is fine. But it is washington........

[summitchaserCJB]

We got some good climbing in. Senior Citizens in space, Magic Fern Rattletale, Sagitarius (in rain showers part of the time).

[fenderfour]

w00t!

 

Keep people at Private Idaho so we don't have to scrub it again. Next time walk 5 minutes up the hill and check out Peanuts to Serve You (5.9) and Them (5.8)

[summitchaserCJB]

Done Them. Although the consensus grade on mountain project I think is a very legitimate 5.9+.

[summitchaserCJB]

Thanks for scrubbing.

[TrogdortheBurninator]

consensus of 2 people, one of whom (the one that gave 9+) is probably you

[Crillz]

The concesus between the 2 people that I know who have climbed it is 5.9.

 

Wait... What climb are we talking about? baa

[counterfeitfake]

Them is a good route. Much easier than Godzilla. Easier than Princely. Short.

[fenderfour]

I also forgot about Index Air Force. It's a cruxy 5.10 that we scrubbed last year. It's to the left of Them. The top out is kind of crappy, but a fun route nonetheless.

Actually no, Trogdor.

I thought ratings had to do with the hardest move, not the length. There was definitely a 5.9 move or two.

I was talking about Them on wall of 10,000 insects. :[]

Why would I cite an external rating along with my personal sentiment that it was legitimate if I had padded the rating? That is some political double talk man.

Yeah, kind of funny.

... so it's a 5.9 then? Good.

 

(however, route grades OFTEN take into consideration how sustained the difficulties are)

 

Anyway, the CURRENT MOUNTAINPROJECT CONSENSUS is 5.9! STAY TUNED FOR MORE EXCITING ROUTE GRADING DEVELOPMENTS!

Arguing about grades is like running in the Special Olympics.

It's 5.8 according to Cummins.

5.10c according to Cash.

Ya I said 10b initially. I'd downgrade to 10a now but it's beefy.

What? It's easy and you'll be there?

Kidding Kidding.

Great job on (re)cleaning/scrubbing Private Idaho...hadn't been there for a year or two before going back there a few weeks ago. Really impressive -thank you!

There's a big difference between 5.9+ and 5.10c. Me thinks someone went for the jams instead of the obvious lieback

[counterfeitfake]

I WOULD say it's as hard as the crux of Davis-Holland.

 

Ya I said 10b initially. I'd downgrade to 10a now but it's beefy.

 

Are you high? You said there are a couple 5.9 moves. You voted 5.9+ for it on Mountainproject. Now, you say it was a 10b but you'll give it a 10a? What the hell.

[Sherri]

Peanuts and Them are both fun. Thanks again for the scrubbing. Them seemed burlier than Peanuts, if I remember correctly, but certainly not harder than any other 5.9 there.
