like dhuff said. don't feel too bad. you probably don't have what it takes.

Go to Chica Bonita, plenty of routes for you to take it easy or push yourself hard. Most of the routes there are really good.

your original thinking was/is correct. below 5.12 is not considered climbing, so to ask for "climbs" below that level is non-sensical.

it is not that people can't climb 5.12..they just want the "cool" factor pf pretending to be a climber without the hard work. so your next step will be to cop an attitude and say numbers don't matter, you climb for self, you climb for fun, etc...

that being said...um, yeah...troll.

horatio

whiskey bottles, brand new cars and that oak tree thats in my way.....

I climb for myself, I climb for fun, numbers don't matter. I climb because climbing is better than getting blown up in some foreign country. Also, your really not a "climber" until you climb more than a pitch or two at a time.

You can climb two different pitches at the same time, damn. You are a real climber.

Shit, I do two different pitches at the same time, all the time. I knew Colorado would make me a better climber.
