What grades are the hardest buildering projects around?
Someone should start a new buildering grading system :-)

some buildering developments are going up here in ottawa, canada. here's what i've learned:
features make for way cooler moves than vertical walls.
smooth features can be made climable with minimal chipping and small glue ons. i try to only glue-on/chip footholds.
if there's graffiti it's generally safe (from the police) to do your work. however, i did one glue up in full view of a bike path and no one said anything. but that problem was chopped (and the holds kndly left lying) when i returned. so that's a possibility.
there's a video of one local development up on:

...under "roboman". sadly, the graffiti is no longer up. roboman was replaced by a supercool portrait of stevie wonder with a highball starting from the middle of stevie's forehead, but that too has been sandblasted (the highball project is still undone, though the holds are a bit smoother).
that's on the bank street bridge over the canal.
the other active development is under the hurdman bridge, on the rideau river.
