sadly, no one can relate to those magnificent routes you mention, cause only 3 people on here can climb that hard.
I can .... Disappearer. Haven't been back on it since '04. I'm scared.

On the plus side, thanks to Rebolt the Red day this year, it no longer features horrifying rusted out 3/8" wedge bolts :) Props to Yasmeen, Brad Combs, and Jeff Kayse!

I'll just say that I've done harder vert routes rated "5.11"... regardless, it is one of the highest quality around.
