I don't know why you lot are getting your knickers in a twist on that other thread.
I'll just give you a history lesson to set you straight.
Chris didn't rate the Mandala...and good for him.
He did say it was the hardest thing he'd done at the time. So specualtion fixed the rating at around V13/14 because the hardest thing he'd done upto that time was Slashface which was given around V13/14 at the time...
After several repeats the consensus was around V11/12....
Then a hold broke. Several repeats later consensus is around V12...
Lamiche's sit-down which is unrepeated and which he did twice, before and after the hold broke is around V13.
Ratings are feelings you know. How one climb feels compared to another. The rating number attempts to express this feeling.
Very fuzzy indeedy, don't you think.
