The original wording of the question was just weak. He could have avoided this whole "lead versus send" thing by saying "what is your hardest send?" As it stands, someone can say that they "led but didn't send" a given climb, and it could mean that they one-hung it, or that it was an involved epic involving whips, takes, tension, tying off, and hauling up the stickclip. And if you "led" a 13a, but didn't send it, shouldn't you say it was 11+ A0? Bottom line, the OP is talking about free climbing (both trad and sport), free climbing denotes an entire pitch done cleanly. So stick to what you've sent, not what you've aided. grumble grumble grumble.

yes yes yes 5.12c/d Trad, Onsite. Sport as well, same grade. Go figure. Placing gear or clipping bolts, no difference for me.

dscow1980 wrote: So for my stats class I taking a survey to determine the percentage of climbers readers of RC.com, who have been climbing for more than 2 years, that have lead (trad or sport) a 5.12 (indoors or outdoors). If you dont mind answering these 4 questions I would greatly appricate it. It should only take a minute. I need 100 replies to do my project. Thanks. Question One. Do you lead climb? (trad or sport) Question Two. Have you been lead climbing for more than two years? Question Three. Have you ever lead a 5.12? (indoor or gym) Question Four. What is the hardest route you have ever lead? Thanks again for your help, I think it will be interesting to see how many people have been lead climbing for more than two years that have ever lead a 5.12. You do realize that there is an inverse proportionality between how good a climber someone is and the likely hood they would read rc.com? But since I am more of a poser these days I'll play. Yes Yes Yes 12c - assuming you mean cleanly (just listing a grade that yo have dogged to the anchors on is totally bogus).

Yes. Yes. Yes. 5.12 trad. It was probably a 12b if I had to split hairs.

I'm sure your numbers are correct, which makes me wonder why the lines are always long on the 5.6's at the Gunks but never on the 5.11's.* * just sayin'

In reply to: Question One. Do you lead climb? (trad or sport) Yes, Sport.
In reply to: Question Two. Have you been lead climbing for more than two years? Not quite.
In reply to: Question Three. Have you ever lead a 5.12? (indoor or gym) Yes, in both places.
In reply to: Question Four. What is the hardest route you have ever lead? I've redpointed 12c. Hardest Onsight is 11b, however. -Ian

Because 5.12 climbers don't drag 3 of their friends that have never climbed before up a route and clog up the route for an hour and a half? Or perhaps because the areas that you're going to are predominately underhung and therefore centered around 5.10 climbing? This of course doesn't address your implication that someone who has climbed a 5.12 is a "hardman".

This of course doesn't address your implication that someone who has climbed a 5.12 is a "hardman". I'll go beyond implying and state with almost certainty that there are far more climbers that cannot climb 5.12 than those who can, and yet once again on this website, the opposite appears to be true. You may be right about the ganging of easier routes, but that would contribute to the whole numbers thing, huh? I've climbed at many of the US destination crags and at most all of them, the majority of climbers are climbing below 5.12, including some with extensive sport climbing; Rumney, RRG, NRG, Red Rocks, Obed, ORG, Boulder Canyon etc...It is certainly true for the destinations I have been to with more trad climbing; Yosemite, JT, Gunks, IC. The only places I have seen with more 5.12+ climbers than below are places like Rifle, that are steep sport-centric places with very few easier climbs, and these in the minority.
