Yeah, I think it is too. It is height and humidity dependent though.

I think I'm gonna go with your rule of changing the grade John.
This can get way too confusing. I give up.

Nah, the rule of changing the grade only if the concensus grade is two grades off from what the FA grade was.

I know, it was just a play on words

Oh. My blonde hair sometimes prevents me from understanding those quick witted jokes.

What John said about ratings was great, I couldn't agree more. I know that for me being freakishly tall makes ratings some what estimates, for what the difficulty is actually for me. I thought Vandalism was easier than some mid 10's that I have done, but overhangs kill me becuase my weight is so spread out. What Johnny said was right and people should just use ratings as an estimate.

Hey! Whenever I find a hard (for me) route I think I can actually send, up pops a 'downgrading' discussion! Dang it, I think I can actually send Whipstocking sometime soon, and here's everyone grumbling to downgrade. While you all may be endurance monsters, I can say that for me, the pump factor makes Whipstocking pretty damn tough.
On the other hand, I love the fact that I both nearly sent A.W.O.L. and it's become a 10c - I like that!
