ha ha! yeah right! maybe some day but certainly not now. like i said in my first post, i was just bored and looking for something to do, but thanks for the info dude. i actually went to the "load" yesterday and talked with some nice guys from louisville and they told me where "transworld" was. Loooooong! hell yeah that thing left of "ttkb" looks crazy hard! it's cool that people actually made it up to those 2 bailers.

If those are the grades you're talking about then you may want to include a few routes at Foster Falls, TN:
The Conflict 5.14a
The Big Empty 5.13d

thanks artsay. i actually was going to compile a list of hard routes from all over the southeast, but decided to just do the red and the new (since these are the only areas i've ever climbed at). but thanks for the info either way. i've seen some awesome pic's of foster falls, that place looks really cool and steeeeeeep. hey, SCIN is your "man", right? see if you can get him to share some trad routes in my post in the "trad forum".

thanks allah, i did know that. but, it hasn't been repeated yet with the broken hold. my buddy sent it back in '98, and it had seen one repeat before the hold broke. he got back on it last spring and did all the moves and felt it was about .14a or b now. so, until it gets sent the way it is now, i'm keeping the original grade on the list.
