As a follow up to this I think it would be interesting to see what the difference in letter grades climbers have between their best redpoint and their best onsight

BTW my difference between onsight and redpoint is only 2 letter grades, maybe I need to work some harder routes, I have always heard that it should be about a one number grade difference

1 letter grade difference but that is only on one instance so usually 2-3 letter grades.

I can crank out most 11's and a few 12s, nothing special. untill I moved out west, my hardest redpoint was 11c and that was my hardist onsite, now I dont know. I TR'd a 13 once at a toprope area and it took me a like 10 times ( 50ft) but thats it. my hardest lead is 12c that was outside of LA. I dont rope up anymore, partly becaus of the # chasing and comitment. someday Ill come back but for now, Im a pad person :wink:

now is that 5.12a or 5.12d? It would be cool to see if all those people posting that they climb at a certain grade do so at the solid grade, like if they climb a standard 5.11 (i.e., b/c) or if they are just breaking into the grade, but do so consistantly.

onsight 12a (numerous times)

redpoint 12d (not so numerous)

usccabum, I have found that the "number chasing" is just as bad with boulderers as it is with spoorties. It is really more about the person, and their desires. Bouldering is such the flavor of the year right now. maybe it is becasue so many poeple like to be high or drunk while climibng, and the risk of doing so is less with bouldering.
