Flood Warning!

Sandbag for real?

[mungeclimber]

lol, sure Brad, that will be their focus. buahahahaha

[Aaron McDonald]

Has it got an anchor already? Is one pitch done?

Yes, north facing. First 2 bolt anchor is in at the top of the water streak. First pitch consensus is 5.9. The head wall looks more challenging but will be hard to judge until we get on it.

I think the name we have been kicking around is "s"

Love the name and rating

[Aaron McDonald]

You have stood directly over it.

Brad,  think about it.

[Brad Young]

Brad,  think about it.

I did and I have. I know where it is. But this is your brilliant line, and I don't want to interfere and/or comment on its location until you all are done with it. (And it does look brilliant.)

Just please make it 5.10a at least

I think I might know but not sure.  If it is what I think it is I kick myself for not starting it when I was thinking about it about 5 years ago.  Looks super good.

Well thanks for giving someone else a chance!

I want free beer. On Sat.  Waldo gave me a free brew and made climbing an action sport. I hope the rock quality holds up for the last bit. There is a bomber stopper placement between cobbles at the high point.

Aaron, you are not allowed to hammer off holds just to make it 5.10.

We also could use the Bates rating system. 5.0 -5.9 is 3rd class, all 5.10 is 5.9, 5.12 and harder is 5.11, so every route is either an approach, 5.9 or 5.11

Where'd 5.8 go? Or is it now 5.9?

[mynameismud]

I just re-read Brad's post.  Change that to 5.9 for free beer!

[Brad Young]

I just re-read Brad's post.

Wow, he actually reads my stuff   

[clink]

F4, 5.0-(to)5.9 is an approach. what I forgot was all 5.11 is 5.10 Barry was consistent in his sandbagged ratings of the few I know.

I wasn't sure which side Mynameismud was on. Thanks for making it clear.

huh, but what about 5.9+?

[mynameismud]

With Barry there was no 5.9+ since for him nothing was that hard.

[mungeclimber]

ah, well good to see the rating system is internally consistent. I'd buy into it.


Viva la 3rd class!

[F4?]

5.9 works for me as I only have 10 fingers.


I still want to try Mechanic's Delight....doubt I'd get it.

[mynameismud]

when I was doing that route i swear the rating changed three different times as different holds broke off.  Harder, easier, harder...

makes a good TR so do not let leading it slow you down.

[Aaron McDonald]

Well?

[mungeclimber]

Well?
