i like honest grades. forget the slash and just sandbag it, make em earn it. i find it amusing to hear people that have sent one of whatever grade and they claim to be that grade of a climber. i can only think of very few climbers in this area who are real 5.11 climbers.

yeah, fuck the slash. if in doubt, lower the grade by a number. the slash grades are for the gaybaits who whine about the sandbags.

There is no such thing as an "implied slash" grade.

Ah, go for the slash grade, Soul Ram, 12b/c, call it hard 12b or easy 12c, which ever makes you feel better. After all it's all about YOU/ME :D
Lest we all forget... climbing is a mostly meaningless pursuit that we do for fun.
