Maybe I should have said "Art, you are just and fair, and we will call it 12b."?
You mean 7b right?
This is Ontario Canada, we do everything we can to avoid being like the Canadian Frenchies. Oddly I don't think they use it either.

I'm going to just start giving everything M grades.

My hand is a wee bit sore right now.

If I wasn't at work I'd be drinking right about now.
An icy beer would make that hand feel better.

Hopefully buddy doesn't try and sue you for assault.Crazy

Sure.
It doesn't really matter what Art or anyone else really thinks it is. Its just for my log so I can track my progress and or stagnation. I could call it 13a and the only person I would be fooling would be me. I could likewise call it 7a+ and feel like my climbing is stagnating in this hell hole.

Hopefully we will get out to the closed place closer to home midweeks this summer. The next closest place with routes I'd want to do is 3+ hours away. Which is tough when you only have one day and gas is $5 a gallon.Unsure

Well in that case rate it by the single hardest move on the route.

Everyone calls it Crappy Tire. Its because 95% of the stuff they sell is junk from China. The only thing Canadian about that company is that there seems to be one on every corner.

The legal system will likely give him little more that a slap on the wrist, but I betcha his heads still ringing! And I bet he'll thing twice before trying that again in the near future...




...I say near future as he is most obviously a dumb ass. WTF, only a dumb ass has enough stupidity to actually try and break into what is obviously a Redneck's mud covered 4x4 on a Tuesday after the May 24?

What if it is a series of hard moves?

And would you rate it as if you rapped down to the move and tried it completely fresh or how it feels with a bit of a pump?

I'm just going to call it M9+.

None of my difficult routes have ever been down rated, that I know of. I have, however, seen the toll it takes on others when their difficult routes have been down rated. Generally my difficult routes get called sandbags.... and I'm OK with that. It's kinda a shame you live in a long forgotten, backwater, corner of the climbing community, cuz I would have been happy to come out, walk your hard routes and down rated them for you.

If I wanted his opinion I'd point to him with my middle finger.

Well it was naive of you to think I wasn't reading and I figured when you started spraying about grades, that was an invitation to state my opinion... Sorry you didn't like what I said.

What does 12a + 12b + ~20degrees= ?

There is kinda a rest at some jugs between the two, but it is kinda steep at that part so most of the weight is still on your arms so its tough to get a great recovery.

New Root? I'd say 12b, but I'm probably the least qualified to do so.

Are you talking two boulder problems with that rest in between? If it's not much of a rest like you say, maybe .12c.

Who am I kidding, I have no friggin clue...
Its a link up. The first crux is right off the ground then you go into the crux of the 12b. You get some pretty good jugs between the two but it isn't the best rest and you can never really fully shake the pump. You go into the second crux way more pumped than if you do the normal start.

It doesn't really matter to much. Its just another route to add into the rotation. Its just kinda nice to have a gage on my training.


I was supposed to go someplace different today and get on some new routes, but it is raining.Mad I feel like I'm in pretty good shape right now so I was excited to go rip it up.
I wouldn't give it a full 12c rating maybe b/c
Call it 5.12b+
Confuse the shit out of everyone.
The french rating system actually works better for sport climbing grades.

humm, u r all rong.... cept the part about french grades more accurately discribing the the difficulty of sport routes.

So, if you are a sprayer, you would have to call it 13a. Thats what jt512 would grade it. Cuz thats what he does to all of my routes. By the fact that you are hear talking about grades, leads me to believe.... spray!!!1

Personally, I've got to figure that the 12a and the 12b are both over rated by a grade to a grade and a half. So I would rate the link up 7a+ and let the posers whine. I'd have to send it to be sure, but it is likely a pretty gud guess. Nothing worse than having real guys walk your soft grades and down rating them...
Didn't Tom Lindner down rate The Action to 12d?

u r rong. I rated The Action 12d on the fa. Troy upgraded it to 13a in his guide without even trying the route. Tom Linder as well as several others, confirmed the 13a grade.

I hear ya on gas. I'm getting concerned about my trip. I suppose the rising gas costs will be somewhat offset by the fact that I won't be paying rent, though.

Try to spend your time climbing at places that are free (both the climbing and the camping).

simplify things. Call it .11+ Tongue

I was giving chossy the benifit of the doubt that he wasn't a full on poser by calling it 7a+. Personally I like to 'simplify' things... course people say I like to sandbag but they would be rong.
You're also the guy who wants to call the $20 Dollar Hooker 6c

The $20 Hooker won't get down rated at 6c....

Are you talking two boulder problems with that rest in between? If it's not much of a rest like you say, maybe .12c.

Who am I kidding, I have no friggin clue...
Its a link up. The first crux is right off the ground then you go into the crux of the 12b. You get some pretty good jugs between the two but it isn't the best rest and you can never really fully shake the pump. You go into the second crux way more pumped than if you do the normal start.

It doesn't really matter to much. Its just another route to add into the rotation. Its just kinda nice to have a gage on my training.


I was supposed to go someplace different today and get on some new routes, but it is raining.Mad I feel like I'm in pretty good shape right now so I was excited to go rip it up.
I wouldn't give it a full 12c rating maybe b/c
Call it 5.12b+
Confuse the shit out of everyone.
The french rating system actually works better for sport climbing grades.

humm, u r all rong.... cept the part about french grades more accurately discribing the the difficulty of sport routes.

So, if you are a sprayer, you would have to call it 13a. Thats what jt512 would grade it. Cuz thats what he does to all of my routes. By the fact that you are hear talking about grades, leads me to believe.... spray!!!1

Personally, I've got to figure that the 12a and the 12b are both over rated by a grade to a grade and a half. So I would rate the link up 7a+ and let the posers whine. I'd have to send it to be sure, but it is likely a pretty gud guess. Nothing worse than having real guys walk your soft grades and down rating them...
Didn't Tom Lindner down rate The Action to 12d?
Ouch.

He isn't really even a real guy. He had to live vicariously through his son.

HAHA!!!1 Now that's some funny sh1t... just don't say it to his face, cuz he one angry guy. Last time I saw Tom, he gave me a ration of shit cuz I didn't want to climb with him. I mentioned that sometimes he is just no fun to hang out with. He completly flipped out. Started yelling at me at the top of his lungs, I was only about two feet from him.... what a fuking scene.

Is anyone good at math? I have a question. Art would probably know this one.


What does 12a + 12b + ~20degrees= ?

There is kinda a rest at some jugs between the two, but it is kinda steep at that part so most of the weight is still on your arms so its tough to get a great recovery.

New Root? I'd say 12b, but I'm probably the least qualified to do so.
