the first move is by far the easiest on the problem so why anyone wud think it adds two grades on i don't know?

Greg does have a point Fingers; of course you can get a feel of how hard these things are but you can't give a grade if you've not linked them.

Take The Dominator in Yosemite (V12) for example. Apparantly the first move is only about 5b (Brit tech) but the link repulsed many of the worlds finest until Sharma finally succeeded in 2002. One extra easy move into a hard problem can make a world of difference for many reasons....

What a good point Greg!!!

You have no right to comment on the grade until you have done the problem!

  • more business, less party.
without a doubt Greg is right.  Doing all the moves is still worlds away from doing the problem.  There are some problems that i can do all the moves every go without a problem, but STILL can't link them and do the problem.  Don't fall into the trap of talking big numbers and climbing little ones...

Fingers, it's cool -  there's nowt wrong with commenting and that, it's just that it read like you were giving definite grades for stuff you hadn't yet done, which is bound to rile people who might have spent ages working those problems to do them....

Who has spent weeks on what problem and then declared V11? I can't really follow this.

Also agree with what the Funky Chipmunk says about comments on grades.

 That's no Chipmunk! It's Domo-kun, do you people know nothing? :roll:


DOMO is a strange creature born from an egg. One day he fell into Usajii the rabbits house, the old rabbit likes TV. After that he began to love watching TV. He is gentle and strong. When he is in a bad mood, he breaks wind.
Favorite food: Seasoned beef with potatoes
Disliked food: Apple (There seems a deep mystery in his DNA)
Favorite talent: MAX and The guitar wolf
