The boat just dropped you in the island with plenty of mix climbing walls except, your climbing guide abandoned you leaving you out there with two options;
MS or USNAVY
Sorry dudes, soloing is not an option and you need to have a partner to get off the other side of the island.
I'd scrap my climbing plans, boulder and sit on the beach drinking bear for the next week.
Both of you would get me killed.
John long published this book call 67 climbing close calls and some where in there , these two hardcore climbers go to climb this waterfall in Venezuela. the boat drops them in the jungle and they tell the dude to return 7 days later. on the second day 3/4 way up on the wall, weather turns shitty and began to rain . soon after , these guys were behind a 10 feet thick waterfall for days on the ledge. after rain stopped, two days later, waterfall slowed down and they bailed. once they reached the pickup point, the dude was not there thinking both climbers were dead under the fall so these guys eat jungle fruit for another week till next boat showed up.

So you're saying that if I climbed with you I'd get stuck behind a waterfall and end up eating fruit for a week?

See that's why I wouldn't climb with you.
I am kind of depress to see that only 25% of RCers are willing to go with USN .
I am not really sure that pictures proves anything whatsoever.
I see a 5.8 maybe a 5.9 route thar.
That might be a little unfair. The picture is at a slightly strange angle and belies the true steepness of the route. I'll give it a 5.9+ and a gold star sticker for effort!

Sport routes cannot, by rule, be graded 5.9+. It is much better to stick a soft 5.10a on there.

I cal it the 'pity plus'. I wouldn't be willing to bump the grade up on paper, but I would be willing to pretend that it was stiff for a nine.

that's exactly why I would pick majid... id rather be stuck behind a waterfall eating fruit than lay bloody and dying at the base of a waterfall.

You're missing the point, Midget would cause you to get stuck behind the waterfall.
For what it's worth, I have met and climbed with USNavy and found him to be a good safe climber. A bit shy in person but not too different from you or me. I watched him impeccably onsight some hard 11's and also watched as he backed off a scary 5.9.
I basically think that both talk out their ass pretty often. However, at least one person has seen USN climb and there are pictures of it. Has anyone ever seen MS climb anything? Has he aver even claimed that he has climbed (rescues aside)?

I have couple of 20.000+ footer under my harness . Does that count ?

So do I, and I don't think that in and of itself counts for much in the way of climbing experience. I guess it depends on what they were and what else you've done. After all, there are several 20,000+ ft peaks that are walk-ups. Still, nobody has ever admitted to seeing you climb anything! At least I believe that USN is capable of climbing...even if he acts noobish.

Majid has posted about being taken down to the bleed by Short circuit.

short circuit is taking down some of the locals and it among the hardest short rock in the valley . I have done it 10+ times but probably only twice without resting on rope. the other eight times, i cried and bleed .
