there are a few people that seem to think that seconding or top roping mook trad should count. if that is the case up my trad and sport to 10d please.

that is fine with me. you have to live with it on your conscience.

i felt fine accepting it because it was a husband boasting about his lady, and i am totally hurting for female responses.

male resonses are easy to come by and changing yours won't really affect the average, but consider it done.

top roping mook trad?

Is this English?

I have cleanly seconded 11a trad. Am drawing a blank on the mook trad though...

I figured the grades were for leading (redpoint).

It'd be interesting to note that if a persons trad grade was very close to their sport grade whether they would consider themselves more of a trad climber. For some the gap is quite large.

this is my girlfriend -- hope these responses aren't too late. also i'm just doing the math on her ape index. i have a full hand on her reach-wise (wrist to fingertips longer in reach than her)

**also -- we were just in boulder at the boulder canyon sport park, where there are TONS of bolted cracks -- it's not trad, but she [onsighted] a .9 (bolted crack) and toproped some .10a's (bolted crack)

Male (straight)
5.8 (bare foot)
180 lbs.
Sport: 5.11b (redpoint)
Trad: 5.9
A.I.: +2 (I am taller by 2 inches than my finger tips are apart)
Boulder: V2 (on my best day)


When I took the GRE I was praying for an 'average' score and I earned it; I am now realizing that I am in the 'Average Climber' ranks. I may be short but I sure am chunky. I am an average guy who hates mean people.

i consider myself a sport climber because i don't own anything but a set of booty nuts that my roomie gave me when he moved in.

my gf owns 1 yellow 2.5 friend that she bootied out at erock.

i LOVE crack climbing. but there are relatively no cracks in austin.

so i guess it depends where you climb...
