If that's the case then Iron Mandible at Frog is the truest 18 I've ever climbed. I felt like I was about to puke after seconding it.

One of the more perceptive (in my opinion) comments on grading I've heard is that a higher grade just means that a smaller percentage of climbers can climb a route. Definitely a more realistic approach than saying that someone who can climb 19 should be able to climb every 18.
