Re: Rockstar Report 2010
According to a recent DPM interview it sounds like ethan pringle onsighted "every established route" at drive by over the course of a week.
Also has commentary on some of the higher end routes: "I’ve gone up The Golden Ticket a couple times and I hope I can tick it (pun intended) before I take off. It’s definitely a gem, but there are cruxes that involve really small bad holds, so I need cold temps to try to do it, which I’m keeping my fingers crossed for. It’s a sick route though! There’s quite a wide variety of movement on it, and it’s a super obvious, inspiring line, but the crimpy cruxes aren’t my style really, so it’ll be a challenge for me. I’m psyched! I went up Southern Smoke yesterday a few times, which is also a really awesome route, and seems really doable. It’s funny that Southern Smoke and the Golden Ticket get the same grade in the guide… The Golden Ticket feels about 14c or d to me, Southern Smoke about 14a or b, minus the boulder problem at the bottom. The boulder problem direct start hasn’t been linked into the route yet so I might try that if it cools down a lot. I also want to do Lucifer at Purgatory. Aghhh, too many projects, not enough time!"

all you haters die slow.
Re: Rockstar Report 2010
When Adam rated the ticket he said it was 14c but probably significantly harder than the other 14c lines because they probably aren't 14c. Sounds like he was right.sendit wrote: The Golden Ticket feels about 14c or d to me, Southern Smoke about 14a or b, minus the boulder problem at the bottom.

Re: Rockstar Report 2010
Ethan did Golden Ticket, and called it 9a or 14d. He also said it was really amazing.

Re: Rockstar Report 2010
Dru, are you serious? What's he rating it?
Re: Rockstar Report 2010
Wow! Check out his blog: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A ... 2F&h=0d1b7
He's calling it "Pure Imagination" and suggesting 5.14d. That's awesome and inspiring! Way to crush, man.
PS - He also put down "The Shocker" I think later that day.
