sadly, no one can relate to those magnificent routes you mention, cause only 3 people on here can climb that hard.

On the plus side, thanks to Rebolt the Red day this year, it no longer features horrifying rusted out 3/8" wedge bolts
Props to Yasmeen, Brad Combs, and Jeff Kayse!

I'll just say that I've done harder vert routes rated "5.11"... regardless, it is one of the highest quality around.
