Great Reel Rock last night. Any time people get all full of themselves I think of the feats that are accomplished by the folks in these movies.

Joe Kreidel and I got to wondering how many 4-star routes there are in the new guidebook. It turns out that Eric was pretty stingy with his highest grade. I found only 32 total, which represents just over 1% of all the climbs. Most interesting to me is that only 3 climbs at crags below Windy Point got 4 stars. This reinforces my belief that the rock is better higher on the mountain. Also several great crags, with many 3-star routes, had no 4-star routes. I list the 4-star routes below.

4-star routes on Mount Lemmon (per SQ3)

1. Go Speed Racer 5.10+ : Pinhead Wall

interesting...not a single climb below 5.10 and most of them 5.11 or harder. :P

There is one 5.9: R-4. Missed that on the first pass as well.

Thanks for making the list, Joe.
