a friend of mine wants to come in the fall and get on some uber-hard stuff. i'll point him to thanatopsis, of course, but i'm betting he'll send it.

One at Purgatory. One (maybe two?) at the now closed Oil crack. Maybe one or two at the gold coast? But there is *plenty* of un-bolted rock out there, so have him bring/borrow a drill and a brush...

Becuase its the red, and no route has a move harder than 10d. So its really easy to grade routes, its length*steepness=grade. :wink:
