[Hide Comment] Currently I am a V3-4 climber and I would not consider this V4 I think it should be downgraded to a V2 Nov 4, 2020

[Hide Comment] I agree, its much easier than V4. I just posted it that way because that was the guidebook rating. My understanding is that as more people climb it and downgrade it MP will automatically adjust with an algorithm. Ethan do you know how to submit suggested ratings for the grade? Nov 4, 2020

[Hide Comment] You don't have to use the guidebook grade when you submit the route to the database. Just give it the grade you think it is. FAists and guidebook authors are not the ultimate authority on route grades. Nov 8, 2020

[Hide Comment] No one does this line right. It starts sitting awkwardly on the small boulder protruding from the ground with your hands as low as they can go on two slopers. That is the v4. Jun 25, 2022

[Hide Comment] Feels 3/4 if you start on the lowest compression holds (If they aren't garbage you are grabbing the wrong ones) probably a better line if you start a move higher though. Jun 25, 2022
