only climbed at the gym, started climbing 3 months ago, barely could make it up 5.8's. Now I'm doing 5.9, it feels good to get better. My gym is nuts, some of the footwork they make you do is like WTF?!
V2 bouldering, I need to get more tricep strength.
Oh and I love crack. When I first saw the crack I was like, "you can climb that?" then the dudes all, yeah you stick your hand in it and make a fist. Now it's one of my favorite climbs. Finger cracking is insane.

Been back into climbing for about 6mos now...all indoor. I'd say I can onsight up to 5.10b and after a bit of work can redpoint 5.10c-5.11a/b. This applies to both TR and lead but probably a bit more accurate with top roping. Leading 5.11 gets a little freaky but I've been leading for only about 3-4mos now with no major falls. Once I get a few more falls in, I think some of those jitters will go away. I'm really looking forward to warmer weather and trips outside. I hear its a completely different beast so I'll have to update my grades later.
As for bouldering, we don't rate any problems using the V-system. It got a bit too vague and discouraged and confused newer climbers. Now we just use a Beg +/-, Int +/-, and Adv +/- type of grading scale. Perhaps not as precise but seems to work for all those involved. I'd say I'm a Beg+ to Int- boulderer. V2ish-3ish????

Bouldering-- V5
Sport-------- 11b/c
Onsight------ 10c
Do some alpine but that is hard to say exactly what im pulling because the grades/ ratings are usually generalized... so who knows???

Right now I'm probably climbing in the V8-V10 range, it all depends on the style of the problem. If it is long and overhung, I can usually send V9's and some V10's, but if its slabby or vertical maybe around V6?
I haven't been climbing sport for a while but usually I can send 13's in the gym in a couple of tries (the weather here SUCKS, its impossible to get outdoors). I've send up to 13c/d outdoors last summer and I feel a lot stronger now, but then again all of my endurance is gone so maybe around 13b or 13c?
I've never done trad or alpine, so I don't know about those.

Just made my first 5.10d with no falls. Never climbed it before either and only watched one other. Other than that I've lead 5.10a sport and 5.9+ trad.

my hardest redpoint: 5.10c
hardest flash: 5.10a
hardest on-sight: 5.11a
Weird isn't it?
I dont boulder that much, but when I do, i can do v2 v3 fairly consistently.

Trad, I can climb 9+/10a if I'm climbing a lot. Usually not on-sight, and usually not a Seneca Rocks... but after slacking off all winter in the gym, I'll be a solid 5.6 leader in the spring!

Indoors I'm climbing 5.8's and some 5.9's. I'm not sure about the other ratings you all are using. (a/b/c) Is that like + or -?

Sport: 5.9 on lead, 5.10c toprope (that's the best I've done anyhow)
learning trad
bouldering V2
I have a lot of mental problems, thankfully only when it comes to rocks. :wink: Anyone heard of the book, "The Way of the Warrior" it's about getting your head straight while climbing. I ordered it. Can't wait to read it.

OK, I feel stupid. I JUST realized there is a separate forum for the book I just mentioned. Weird. Maybe I'll check it out. :oops:

Dinosaur, 11d at Diablo.
A crimpy technical, sequency and sustained 25 mt 11d that feels more like a 12a to me. Hopefully when the sandstone dries up for good the friction will be better and I'll be able to send it finally.
Love that route, come with me and share the pain! Today I have the nice painful feeling at your fingers tips that reminds you what you did in the weekend. I love that too.
