Tecumseh's Curse can't be included since it's not 11b.

I thought we were talking about hardest for the grade? That route was graded incorrectly so how can it be included?

That is the point of the thread, or so I thought... Routes out there that feel like the grade is sandbagged. If the grade is incorrect, why isn't it changed? So, to me it sounds like Tecumseh's Curse is a great choice until the grade truly reflects the difficulty of the climb... You got any pull for fixing that?

To defy the laws used to be 9+, and it definitely felt hard for the grade.


Thanatopsis - hard for 13d

I thought 9+ was supposed to be harder than 10a? Sounds like it got downgraded to 10a to me.

sorry Andrew, gotta throw it in there--Freakin' Deacon 12a.

Those new 12b's at Beer Trailer are pretty damn hard too. And let's not forget Bullfighter!
