This thread isn't complete until someone calls someone else a douch bag. So, for completion's sake,
"All you alls is douch bags!"
*note the accuracy of the grammar here.
there. Now this thread is complete. Carry on ladies and gentlemen.

i have to agree with proximo that only crakkka nerds try to correct grammar on the internet.
Unfortunately it is not SUBTLE making a come back, proximo is the real deal. A gangsta ass baller that tells the truth at all times. Beware he can rain down the crunkness on anyone at anytime at RC.com.

In these confusing times I realize it has become harder and harder to discern facetious rhetoric, but I have to admit... If you can't see the sarcasm in me proclaiming that "only crakkka nerds try to correct grammar on the internet", then i have three theories which could explain your hostility.
1) You were too stoned to realize your error in judgment before you decided to write such an eloquent retort.
2) You are obtuse.
... and/or...
3)You are the type of person who believes that by using middle school terms describing gay sex and an insult, you can come out the victor of an "E-Dick Measuring" contest that I was not aware of.
If #1 is correct then I apologize for the harsh response and I will be smoking one for you tonight.
If #2 is correct, you are obtuse. Enough said.
If #3 is correct, realize that the forums are a good place to come and bounce ideas off of eachother and gain knowledge about our common hobby/lifestyle. Ocassionaly a troll comes along and stirs some shit up but there is no reason to make things personal. Chill out and maybe consider theory number one.
Anyway I figure I should at least provide another typical RC.com answer to this topic. Crap what was the question again? Oh yeah... ever heard of the search function noob!!!!????

My e-dick is at least 3 internets long.

camhead is right. i actually had the chance to hang out with dave graham, and he told me about problems that had say the first 3 moves were V4 and the last 10+ moves were V8 and it's a V9. a lot more goes in to grading these problems than i had thought prior to that conversation.

I LoLed at this.
also, pr0x1mo, you're one goofy guy.....I almost feel bad for ya man, all these internet crazies making fun of your grammar....how dare they expect you to criticize other people using proper engrish.
and...finally ON topic... I saw this video about a month ago on StumbleUpon (which btw, is an addon to firefox everyone here should have...you can make a stumble filter for climbing videos and BAM...countless hours of completly random videos of people rock climbing....most are pretty good, some are shitty, but its the nature of the beast)...whoa...I have ADD today I guess.....anyways....upon watching it, I had the same thought a lot of you did, that this problem looks hard, no doubt. WAY hard, and definitely more than I can handle, but in comparison to other things I've seen, it doesn't look like the hardest. I'd say v16 is a VERY liberal rating, then again, I'm not a professional-route-rater-dude...so....guess it's just my looking vicariously in on the world's best.

I believe that wheel of life was a link up of multiple v10+ problems. When you start getting to that level, most pro climbers can climb v10 all day and not break a sweat, but if you put a v11 and a v12 together then not only are you testing their ability to do the insanely hard move which is the crux, but you are also testing thier ability to do multiple cruxes back to back. For most boulderers, a burst of power is the name of the game. Wheel of life tests the power endurance ability of a climber. V grade or 5. grade doesnt really matter in this case.
I do however wonder what Dai Koyamada would put as a route grade for this problem. 15a? above it or below it?

Right. Which is why very long problems like this do not fit the traditional definition of bouldering--and should really be graded using the YDS or Font traverse grading systems, instead of the "V" scale.

I believe the Font traverse grades are merely the same as those used for French sport climbing routes--but I would like to see if someone else can confirm this.

Font and French or most certainly different.
French is for grading sport routes and is used from 4 to 9b (note the lower case), whereas Font is used for boulder problems (not just traverses any more, in fact french grades are usually used for long traverses) and go from 4 to 8C+.
