post ewbank grading suggestion from the armchair 7-Jul-2004 At 10:52:05 PM rhinckle

some rationale:
choked on kangaroo point 12, assuming that it was going to be solo piss easy (did get up, but had to work).
happily lead a 20 face(ilean), finding it easier than a 17 (Modern Electrics.. which is a classic, I think),
while being spat off by a 18 crack(Amphatamine annie) at Ebor.
found a 19 crack at frog (Iinfinity) beautiful, superlative etc.
was amazed and delighted, and occasionally scared (major choss section) by Trojan (13) on Tibrogagan.
maybe i'm just moody?

(my apostrophe was abbreviative rather than posessive, but i would acknowlege, unnecessary)

As far as i can see, any grade is only as good as the comparison with the last sucessful climb.

Anyway

I've banged on boringly for long enough. i'll shut up, and acknowlege that i had a dumb idea.
