That's what I thought too.

I heard from Terry that Encore is 10d and that Opening Act is an 11a... isn't that what Lynne said she was submitting to the guidebook?

Hey Yasmeen! Where the hell have you been, girl?

Yes, I'm going with Encore 10d and Opening Act 11a. Thanks everyone.

I'll update the list again after I get more input. BRING IT ON, PEOPLE!

That's the way I understood it, but they are all 3 10d/11a's so it's six one way, half dozen the other.

That's exactly right. Terry's original notes indicate "10d/11a" on all three routes.

I think Technical Foul feels about .12b and that's what I've always heard it was rated.

Oh yeah, and it seems I recall him saying 10a for Take a Bow too.

In my opinion, Terry will sometimes sandbag a bit and let the following ascents confirm or elevate the grade as opposed to overrating things and then trying to keep them there. In the end though, the Arena is a frikkin' work of art.

I'd probably go with .12a for Technical Foul. It's not nearly as hard as Hakuna Matada or The Rifleman.

Let's not turn the Red into the land of overgraded routes. We want people lowering off saying, "Damn that was a solid 5.X!" NOT "Man, what a joke for 5.X."

When on the line go with the lower grade. Otherwise you get a rep. as being, "soft", and for the most part the Red is anything but soft. Lets not change that.

Just my opinion....Do you agree?
