The G-Man 10c. Been on several 11a routes that I think are easier.

I think most of the 11b and 11c routes at de Bibliothek feel hard.

easy for grade in my opinion... and I'm pretty weak sauce. Did you do the last bolt through a waterfall or sumpthin?

I thought it was hard for the grade. Not as many rests as other 12b's on the wall like Rocketdog or Ale-8.

I think there are too many variables. Andrew thinks that Ethics Police is hard. I flashed it. What's up with that? I think it just fit me. Maybe Verdict did for you. I've heard more than one person say it's hard for the grade.

Yeah, it's weird. Musta been a fluke for me. Yesterday I was making Rocket Dog look like 5.13, so... WTF?!?

Severn bore may be tough to onsite, but it isn't that hard of a climb once you figure out the beta. But I must have sat under that wave for 15 min trying to figure out how to grab that flake... finally moved my left toe down two inches and the wall stopped "pushing" me out. I think the grade is fair.

+1 for Karmic Retribution at 10c. That thing was a mindfuck. Great line though.
