People that win the begginer are people who flash v2 or v3. I get my ass kicked in intermediate and I climb v4 to v5. We shall see how much HP gets downgraded for the comp. Adam Henry went around and downgraded a lot of classic problems for last year. Inspect her gadget was v5 instead of v7, popeye was v5 instead of v6, etc.
Hopefully he wont be tempted to put hammerhead at v4 and lowdown at v3. At this rate God Module will be a v5 in no time!!!

they better not down grade low down that is one i've been working on and think i can finally get it, i am a v4 climber but can't get the top out as of last sloperfest comp. i think i am strong enough now. i hate it when they down grade for comps. it dosen't make an sense to me could you explain why they do that.

There is a little piece of beta that got me the topout to lowdown. Once you figure it out its SO easy to get over the top. If you dont have it by the triple crown ill give it up then.

I'm not sure there is a moderate problem there that hasn't been downgraded at this point. Hammerhead, Lou-ser, Redneck, Beach, Uniball...

Yeah, I'm curious to see how low they're going to downgrade Millipede and Bum Boy this year. Maybe down to V4 and V2, respectively. (I personally despise both those problems, so I'm not going to use up the skin on my fingertips on either of them)
I'm waaayyyy too excited about this year's Triple Crown, though. Just got my new pair of shoes yestedray, to get broken in in time for Hound Ears, where I climbed like crap last year. That was the first time I had been, and it redefined the term "small crimpers" for me. I've still got two months to train on the small stuff, though, so hopefully this year will be better.
I asked this a month or so ago, but for those of you who are going to the TC, what's on your tick list for this year?
