not that i can climb ANY of them yet, but i'm curious to know what the hardest routes, grade-wise (yes, numbers)are, in the red? i'm trying to compile a list of hardest routes at the new and the red, and other "southeast" areas. i'm basically looking for .13c and up. so far i know of "thanatopsis" (which is .14b?), "clean well lighted face", "nudgepuppa", and "omaha beach". any others that you guys can think of, maybe stuff that isn't in the guide book? thanks for any info. incase you didn't notice, i'm bored and am just looking for something to do! thanks.

Well, yeah I saw that one in the guide book. But what I want to do is make a list of the top 10 hardest climbs from the Red and the New, so I want to use established routes. So again, if anyone could name 1 or 2, that would be sweet.

Matt that is so uncool of you. The way I hear it told, Andy has been working really hard on that route and gotten to the third bolt , only hanging once! He's awesome!! It only took him 3 months to send Eureka - that's some badass shit.

Lynne how is your progress coming on Eureka? Have you sent it yet? I know you were working hard all summer.
