i don't get it... so if you boulder the scale is lower. "it's v4 for you but i've been bouldering so it's only a v2 for me."
And on the third day, God created the Red River Gorge(by conjecture), and he saw that it was good.

its v4, but feels harder than that if you've only been route climbing.
most of the 12a's i can think of are just chugging along, a lot of the 12b's are a kick in the nuts if thats all you've been doing.

tried this thing once, got shut down bad. left to go set in NC for a week, came back and destroyed it.

also the holds are just odd.

Sorry, I was thinking of Crime Time. High Hard One is sort of hard at the 2nd bolt but not that bad.

v4+

Maybe a bit height dependent, and definitely easier once you figure out the beta.

Ro - V2
Infectious - V3
Samurai - V3/4
Tissue Tiger - V2
Iniquity (Start) - V4
Iniquity (Upper Crux) - V2
Hellraiser - V4
Buff the Wood - V2/3
Jet Lag - V3 (i'm joking... this is a knock on myself)
......I'm all for the downgrades! Let's not let peoples egos get too big! When someone says boulder problem I think about the crux of a route if I do it off the ground... If you climb 60 feet of 5.11 climbing and then do a V3 crux... it might feel like a V5, but it's not!

Pogue Ethics - V0 But I've heard that's only if you go directly up the center of the crux. Left is probably 5.6 climbing, and the right felt like 5.9+.
