Fairly new to this sport I love. Can someone please explain why people seem to deem "eliminate routes" as lesser of a feat than a route where you use all the features that are there but is easier. It seems Dave Mccloud who I think is fantastic has said his E-11 in an official eliminate and if he grabbed the arete it would be E-10. He didn't, so it goes E-11. IMHO, if you grab the arete at the top, aren't you doing a different route than Dave did? Is Es Pontas an Eliminate because Pringle found easier climbing around the dyno that Sharma did? Thats kinda of splitting hairs to me. Isn't that why there are variations to routes and that those routes have different or slightly different names and grades? Interested to know what you think.
