I am not smart enough for bolts, and I am sure Onefall can figure out the draws. And I am sure he will be down with pulling off any aluminum when he is done. See, that was simple.

Yeah, but not for long :)
Just as a heads up, those are not the old worn out draws on it right now.

Sweet! Team Wheatley can replace the bolts then ;)

Beautiful line Kenny... thing was getting gangbanged this fall.

That's not my line, wish I could say it was! I remember trying it once about 4 years ago and thought I would head back to try again in better temps but never did and just left the draws. They should have been taken off long ago but I saw them on it a year ago lol

Heard that thing is more like 13a or b...but we all know that "face" routes in the Red are way over-graded................

Ouch! It seemed a significant step up from No Redemption for me. But no doubt, I have so much to learn about climbing at that angle.

Grades being what they are, NR was the hardest thing I've done to date. Are our vert routes that far off in grade compared to other areas?

One-Fall- Out of the areas I have climbed around the states, southern Spain, frankenjura, and ceuse NR and most of the tech routes would be a grade or 2 softer. I've mainly come to that conclusion after spending time in Europe, I thought the climbing was going to be aboUt the same but it is truly humbling over here. That's not to say that I have also climbed routes easy for the grades as well. As far as NR when I did it I had a few factors go my way even though the conditions were shit, and I remember thinking for me the route was 12d but could see 13a. Then others got on it and thought 13c or really hard b. (other than Jason forester which thought the same as I did. You know as well as I know that grades are personal, he'll if I had an 8a account Golden boy would be 13d for me :) and there are many routes like that in the red for me! Nice job once again on NR and F*ck SM up!
