I agree it's tough for the grade, especially when you're just using it as a supposedly quick means of getting to the ledge below Blockbuster and hadn't really anticipated an epic struggle, but that's where the fun of it lies. Given that it's well protected (assuming you dragged the right gear up there), suddenly finding yourself struggling even though you're 10 grades below you're limit is rather a hoot. For me, there's more fun to had from Ivan than crusing up something graded much harder, but that totally suits your style and therefore presents little challege. Long live Ivan! |
