dkb_40380, unfortunately there is always someone making fun of someone else on here, but most of us are not such jerks in real life. don't take it personally.

Joe Kinder sends 50 words for pump, calls it soft, but takes 14c.

no shit its soft if you skip the original crux and crawl up it with knee pads...

During the first ascent the route was done sans knee pads with the original crux, rated 14c with a v-10 or 11 crux followed by a pumpy 14a exit.

How a route with a v8 crux and, thanks to knee pads, a 13c or so exit still merits the same grade blows my mind.

Don't know. Take it up with Dave Graham, Mike Doyle, Daniel Woods, and Joe Kinder.

Just sounds to me like the original FA shoulda been smarter.

Dont you think you are acting a little self-important by saying that? I mean the guy climbs 9a, he comes to the Red for a short trip and crushes the hardest project in the area, in a bold style risking a ground fall. You think he "shoulda been smarter"? Who are you to say that?

What he did was crush the hardest project in the area, using harder beta, and risking injury when he didn't need to.

My hat is off to him, but subsequent ascents have been done the smarter way. Isn't that what working a route is about... finding the path of least resistance?

He's kind of like the amazing kreskin only he looks backwards and is frequently wrong. Still, he's all ours and we love him.

Have I mentioned lately that I love you too?
