Cancel the grade 12a

I say we add a new grade: 5.12+-. for that one climb that is soft but sandbagged y’know?

Just another thread where everyone is super concerned with how other people go out and climb.

Why do you care?

I think it’s mostly a joke. Dont take any forum on MP too seriously.

I am trying but I feel like I climb plenty and I need some rest! It’s mostly I have done most 11s and kinda running low on climbs that are not constantly crowded.

((slow clap))

Every Trad 11d I've ever done, has been harder than every sport 12a I have done. So, there!

I think everything that is currently graded 12a should be switched to 11d. Leave no climb listed as 12a. I think it would spread out the masses better if everyone was less obsessed with doing the most classic first “12.” Secondly, The grade 11d is hardly used and often harder than 12a and thus I don’t think this would make 11ds any harder. This also partially solves the issue of soft 12as.

Now you are probably thinking everyone will just start doing 12bs. That might happen if it’s too big an issue we just call them 11e.

I guess I don’t see any possible issues with this.

I blame Eric J. Horst for the 5.12 fad.

His book clearly defines that real (insecure) "men" can climb 5.12 if they work hard, flex their muscles, and scream when they fall.  The newest version of his book (not released yet because of COVID delays) entitled, "Sending and Crushing Hard: Becoming a 5.12 bro" covers the right flex angles for the IG photos, tanning solutions, a review on protein powders, attire preferences, as well as bringing puppies to draw more attention when you send the 5.12.  Bonus features include various victory whips to impress hikers and gumbies gawking from the parking lot.

5.x-, 5.x, 5.x+     <-Solved

Am I doing it right? My dog ain’t impressed but I’m sure everyone else was?

Almost!  You're missing the Flex and the Tan.

A few hashtags never hurt as well.

I'm convinced every 11d in the New is harder than every 12a in the New.

Great to hear and I appreciate you keeping the thread alive! If you do claw your eyes out I can send you audio recordings of my various musings!

That was my 7th grade homeroom number.  Hated the teacher.

OWs are never crowded

What is this? A gas station? I don't want self-service! How much for you to personally travel to my home and hammer glass shards into my eardrums? I want that enterprise SLA.

I am still working out the product offerings. Right now glass costs are a little high for me but chicken broth is at an all time low and probably just as effective. The boiling broth option is about $5000 with me included or the DIY option is $1000.

I think I have done the ones within after work driving distance with exception of 1.

Yes, it seemed pretty mild and not attacking anyone or anything.

My guess is that you made a unicorn cry somewhere.

My other guess is that this very comment will also get removed, since I'm obviously attacking unicorns. Unicorns are sort of the Peregrine Falcons of the internet - you can't be careful enough in protecting them.
