Bet he would send Proper Sole quickly.......dustonian wrote:He's still climbing a number grade lower on cracks v. sport, so there may or may not be an effect from the gear-bothering. It would be cool to see him try some 5.14 cracks at other areas.
Re: Snotrocket
Don't kid yourself piggy, it's awesome to see that there are a few still interested in hard trad. If one can climb hard sport, trad, snow and ice, big walls and high peaks it kind of makes one the complete climber, don't you think? And just because KY is home base doesn't mean you can't do it all. Way to go guys, you just might be the leading edge of a new trend. That is unless, of course, all the rest of the sporties really are pussies.pigsteak wrote:shhh, if 5.14 climbers start placing gear old crusties will know their ruse is up.
Re: Snotrocket
you lost me after sport and trad....the other things on your list have nothing at all to do with climbing. big wall...pfffft, you call Caldwell a real climber?...pu-leeze.
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.

Re: Snotrocket
Probably, the best pitch of climbing i've had the benifit to watch. A bit scary ...even for the belayer.....the whole process was one to enjoy and learn from. Patience the mantra, percisson the tool, Bad Ass....the vibe!
As for grade.....priceless.......with an emphasis on PLUS, AG cofirms the grade....
Thank you....Patrick, Jeff (of course), and everyone else..... for the re-bolting .........tons of work....pop,pop,pop, ....pop, pop, pop,....ppp, etc

Re: Snotrocket
Does anyone knows how many free ascents Snotrocket has seen?
If you want to get beta spread, here is the video I made of my ascent of April 13, 2019:

As for the grade, I cannot confirm...this climb is too unique. Never seen something like it elsewhere, not even on El Capitan...
