| Sweet Pain is one of those soft Red Rocks routes. The grade is closer to 11c. It's still a great route just heavily grade inflated. |

| Yeah ... I climbed Sweet Pain too. It was absolutely no problem.
As a matter of fact, unlike Chad Wolak, I did it with one hand tied behind my back. Yeah ... easy stuff. Give me somethin' harder to
climb; will ya? |

| Excellent climb! Sustained overhanging climbing with no really hard moves. Very soft for 5.12. |
