Climb Gramps this Weekend....need lift! Friday, 20 July 2012 At 1:58:03 PM Wendy

Fûck, Damo, I'm a grade 15 climber! I'm reduced to tears and downclimbing by unprotected grade 16 slabs!

Anthony, I probably could put more consistent work into them, but I've had a reasonable bash at a few different times of my life at more than a few of the popular ones at the mount, and they generally feel insurmountably hard - small holds that hurt my fingers, big moves i can't crank. Not even progressing kind of hard. But I can usually do v3 first go. That is, if I don't get terribly scared and downclimb! The moves on v5 just seem desperate - way harder than the moves on most 25s I've been on.

Another point on Dave - he could climb grades pretty consistent with what he could boulder too. I dare say if he got his rope out more often these day, he still would.
