sorry, just saw your comment bcombs, that might explain my observation

In all fairness, some of the nastiest crags i have seen only have concentrations of 5.11 and harder routes. examples: bob marley and motherload have more shit and toilet paper than i have seen anywhere else (i am sure there are counter examples, but still).
