The prof. has spoken.

Aaron, thanks for coaching Laura up FS . She was telling Martha how nice that was to have you there.

BTW.I am so glad my parents moved us out of the Boston area when I was 7.

Clink,

No problem! I am very happy she did not give up! Laura did a great job.

Holy tangent rant, this thread derailed a long time ago!

All we need to do now in order to make the tangent creditable is to bring up 9/11 conspiracy theories!

Granite is the ultimate thread drift on Masters of Mud.
Kyqueener, what you need is to find a pic of Bin Laden with granite FA possibilities in the background and post it here.

Actually thread drift on Mudn'Crud is common and weird.

It seems that there is usually an ongoing discussion of who's up to what between most of us much of the time. Frequently that discussion occurs on whatever thread happens to be on top.

J.C. sniveled about this a few months ago, about all of us "jacking" his thread. He seemed to calm down though after I pointed out that it was our normal here: he'd start a thread about what he and Kat had been up to lately and then we'd all use it for our normal weekly discussions.

Carry on.

New routes 5.11 or harder since 2007 guidebook.

2008- 5.11b
2010- 5.11a
2011- 5.11b, 5.12b, 5.13c, and 5.14a

That's an average of less than one per year, or have I missed info?. Bet that changes.

Is 2007, Brad's book?

yes, and the 13c is Hajime, correct? That's a variant of two lines, no? I don't imagine it would have it's own bolt count.

At the risk of sounding prejudiced, beyond 12c they all look the same to me.

No, it goes directly to the point of the rate of consumption.

Putting up routes of this difficulty, ground-up, is no small task. Ground-up is arduous, especially on Pinnacles rock. Not many recent takers at this level is my point.

I have heard "all the good quality routes are done", blah, blah, blah. I think a couple of next generation climbers will end up proving this otherwise. My other point.
