The "O" system is Bart's Idea, I am just one of the early adopters...

01-O5 (closed ended)

Here is a list of some routes with possable O ratings:

Rocket man O1-
Muscle Shoals O1+
Country loven, Hidden Dragon, Better red then dead O3 to O3+
Trench Warfare O4-
Belly full of bad Berries O4+

Bart might have to make some corrections, but I was thinking this is what we were talking about.

True, True.

man, i gotta say that there is a huge difference between climbing a 5.x crack and climbing a route at the motherlode of equal difficulty (or easiness?). i think there has to be a distinction. i know one guy who cranks .12+ cracks and then get's outta brreath on a .10+ crack of a different size. same with sport climbing. some people get worked on vertical shit, but can hike in the madness cave.

another note about bberlier...i met this guy a few times and all he does is spray. he's like "oh matt, what did you climb today? let me tell you what i did you little punkass bitch! i sent 3000 .13d's today in one try. you suck asshole!"

JUst another 4.9x climber jealous of BBerlier's superior talent!

Yea, I agree. Everyone has their weaknesses and strengths. But does that mean that slabs should be rated differently than overhangs?

no, i think if it's covered in the description of the route then that should do it.

HF, you're going to have to change your status.
You'll no longer have a purdy mouth 'cause I'm going to knock all your teeth out with my "tick"!

And besides, after a milk and honey enema, I consider that last statement foreplay.

shit bberlier, bring it on if you think you got the guns...i've been bulking up lately. i'll be planning your assassanation if you don't step off.

After awhile placing gear is as easy as clipping bolts. That took me a minute to soak up. Kinda explains your logic in your opening statement. Gives the rest of us another goal to shoot for. I'm getting well rounded.....in the middle.
