the only hazard with the voting ststem that I is that they will not all be done by the same people. When one person decides the stars then you kind of learn what the person consiters quality and you can take your own experece with that person into account but if it is voting then that might not be as easy. while the subject of stars is up I just want to throw out the number of 12s and 13s that have stars....I think it is funny that if someone puts up the 13 then it is always three stars, I think it has somthing to do with the amount of work the person had to put into it and not nessasarly the route but I have not climbed them so who knows maby I am wrong.

There are some no-star 13's out there. Check the online guide book.

It's still 2 stars, even with the extra bolt. You can flake on the finish and head left, thereby missing the cooler straight on finish moves. It's got a muddy start a lot of the time but more importantly it's got the worst approach in the Red. Almost every visit requires a 5th class scramble through a crowd of gumbys!

Still a kick ass 10 though and worth climbing over an over. I took one of my first big whippers finishing that route back in the day and it's still gives me a warm fuzzy.

Unfortunately Sandy, I am but a few hours from leaving again, now. No more non-stop posting for me. As far as adding the drop downs, I could throw the HTML together really quickly. The PHP and(I assume) mysql would take a little longer and require access to this sites code. i would also need access to the servers that this site is hosted on. I could play with it but my turn around time would be pretty slow after I am gone, Still if you want me to do it I most likely can. Email me with the necessary info.

Well here is some HTML to get this thing started.

Of course you would probably want the grade select menu to be dynamically generated with maybe three grades on either side of the current one only.

anyway, i gotta get out of this country.

good luck.

That is funny Charlie. But I don't think it is the climbers fault for "flaking" out to the left since someone has moved the anchor to the left.

why was the anchor moved? Rotten rock? I like the idea of a potential big whipper at the top... I think it would make the red point that much sweeter.

Granted, I haven't been on it in a couple of years but has the anchor really been moved over to the corner? Originally it was straight up from the last bolt and you could hit it from the face, or "flake out" and climb the arete to clip from the left.

Maybe rule #2 should apply to me in this case, I'll never learn.

Rhunt: Cool pic.

Sandy: You should go out with me instead, I look better with my shirt off :wink:
