Panzer ... 12 ... NOT! 1-Aug-2006 At 10:52:40 AM ironmike

Well, went climbing on the weekend as a group of four ... average climbing grade ... 20's indoors and mid teens outdoors as a group.

We went by a list of recommended climbs, and Panzer shows as a two star 12 multi-pitch slab climb ... I can agree with the two stars ... slab technique ... definitely ... 12 ... I doubt it!

It wasn't just me, but we all agreed that it seemed to be a fair bit more difficult than a 12. I'd personally place it mid-teens. That being said, it had been raining overnight and we had a slight sprinkle before we started out as well, which I'm sure would have added to the difficulty of the climb with a bit of moisture on the wall.

Now ... okay, I'm just a bumbly ... but I certainly found the climb to be harder than Sexless Sue which is apparently a fourteen and I could just about run up Sexless Sue ... I found it significantly easier than any single pitch on Panzer. Go figure!
