The biggest sandbag in the Red ?

Sand bagging has seem to have lost its glory. When I first got on a road bike the climbing corpse said" Tackett, if your gonna dig this game there are two rules. One, you must enjoy the suffering. Two, you must really enjoy seeing others suffer. Then he took off like a bat outta hell.

Climbing is the same in a lot of ways, esp trad. I like earning the grade and sometimes even more like seeing others have to earn the grade. Whats the biggest sandbag in the area and whats your story behind it. I would love to hear some of the fa's story of known sandbags and if they did it on purpose.

Muscle shoals. Or maybe carnivourus. Rates creep is an evil we all need to fight. Just rate it "the lowest number you can say without laughing."

edited to add the beeneling and what is left of the beeneling as other canadates. Sport climbing the only route I thougt was super hard for the grade is soul ram. 12b? Are you kidding me?

Muscle for sure. Even if you can climb that style well its akward and pretty tough for the grade.
