Thats fine that you like it because you got the FA, theres nothing wrong with that. But you do have to agree that the other routes you put up at the lode are alot better than HFT

If anyone has ever read the guide book for Vedavoo, WY (I am sure SCIN has)....it has a pretty intresting philosophy. It gives difficulty rating for the routes, but it doenst have a star system. it only gives a hand-full of classic route suggestions of different style and difficulty. Then it suggests that if you only get on all 3star routes you will miss out on alot of experiences that can only be gained from exploring. It suggest starting with those few classics, but if you walk by something that catches you eye that looks like a sweet line and is in your ability...then why let someone else tell you whether you will have a great experience on it or not.

some of the best routes never get done because they never get done. If there is no chalk on the route, people think it must be a pile. Classic examples of routes that never got done but turned out to be hyper classics after some intrepid climber stepped out a bit and "resurrected" the route are- Resurrected, Big Money Grip, the four routes to the right of Kick Me In TheJimmy". And there are others yet to be uncovered- Swahili Slang, McCray's 2 routes next to Swahili Slang, and not to be forgotten Hot For Teacher (which of course we are).
