Not sure if this has been posted before, but this interview with Kevin Jorgeson I came across (along with all the other interviews, blogs etc)probably says a lot about Team America's experience of the grit- http://ne2cproductions.com/blog/?p=115 ,now I've never even climbed on the grit yet(I'm Irish), but I think it says a lot about the issues that have been raised, I don't think I can add anything that hasn't already been said, other than these guys seem to have nothing bad to say about their experience, and that even through bad conditions and getting to grips with a foreign grading system, the thing that stands out is the world class quality of the climbing, along with the history and the aura that surrounds them and the hospitality of the climbers, and that's what you guys have to be proud of.

Nice one slackers.

To be fair to James, all the BS about the grading of the Promise took place before we'd really done anything. Later in the trip we did End of the Affair and Gaia, both considered benchmark E8 and both miles easier and safer [well similarly safe at least, hard to compare]. So if we take those as E8 then the Promise has to be at least E9.  And Kevin and I both used crash pads at the base, which makes it a lot less scary.
