What is 5.9?
« on: October 31, 2017, 04:50:15 PM »
Wet Kiss is 5.8+ and Trauma is 5.9+.

So maybe Plague is a true 5.9?

Trauma is 5.9
Ordeal is 5.8
Entrance is 5.6
Flyby is 5.9
Cleft is 5.5
Jorgie's is 5.9
Portent is 5.5 excluding the first 10 ft bouldering into the gully
Swallow is 5.6

5.9 is harder than Ordeal. What is 5.10a?

5.9 is usually when I lead something onsight and say "Shit! I almost fell!"

In the words of the greatest living philostopher of all mankind (Quentin D Nameland) "It is what it is"  :yesnod: :thumbup: :lol:

When in shape and rocking it....it all feels 5.9.

When out of shape, 5.9 feels like 5.12.

Lava falls...1st pitch 5.9+ (2nd is 5.8)

Depends right. On maybe other sites it’s 5.8.
The + depends on the leaders height.

Get out.

No f'ing way that is 5.8+. It's almost text book 5.9 for the area.

If you quit trolling Mud'N Crud before you are dead, it would be a complete shame.

You know, it's never been my perception that Clink has spent that much time with Mr Mud. I know they know each other and all that, but not that well?

And yet in one comment, 11 words, Clink shows an absolutely perfect understanding of Mud's mind. Weird  ;)

Checked the holy guides, blue, purple and brown...seems I’ve sand bagged myself all these years. Wet kiss is rated 5.9.

Trauma is 5.9+, man that + is a bitch.

It still feels a bit harder than Ordeal.

So would Ordeal be a true 5.8?

5.7 is just plain lying. Like Trump type of lying. Bigly! Huge! Yes, I said it. Sand Bag.  :o  :o
