Are there any "REAL" hard routes here???

Hey - Just flew in from the West Coast to enjoy some East Coast Classics... What the fuck? Are there any true 5.14s in the Red? Gods own Stone went down in 2 tries, only because it was wet and crappy outside. Today, the weather was killer and I totally crushed Thanatopsis -- I consider myself to be a solid 13+ climber but wanted to be challenged by my first 14 send. Disappointed, heading home. WTF?

I toproped Eureka once but I had to hang on it like four or five times but when I got roped back down the scout leader said it still counted as a red point! Do you want to be friends? We could talk about climbing and share a pizza at Miguel's and maybe you could teach me how to do that loose-line thing! (At least that's what I think that guy called it, it looked pretty tight to me!)

excellent krampus...finally someone got to the heart of the matter.

IClimb5.4..I apologize for the rudeness of the initial posters. You will find us to be a lovable group with sending envy of the strong west coast crew.

May I kindly suggest about anything at Curbside. Being a newer crag, the ratings are very stiff. Example: "the return of frank bryon" is said to be 14 b/c without the intital stick clip move. You'll even notice our revered guidebook author lists it as his favorite climb at the Red. Being a humble servant, he modestly called it tres difficile 12 plus mon amie.

If you would so kindly spend a few days of your vacation and nab the second ascent, we'd appreciate a consensus on the grade. May I suggest any of the 10's at Curbside as a warm up.....enjoy your stay.

May I give you a ride to the Slade airport on your way home?
