Fair play to Will for being psyched by such grot, whilst Aidan is over in Sweden getting into the sauna culture and pristine granite projects 😂
I can't help but feel like Terranova is secretly some sort of absolutely horrendous desperate 9A that Ondra just did and was like "eh 8C+ I guess"Like it's on the local seeping limestone shitheap, and the crux is about a foot off the ground, which to me says truly grim sandbag
So possibly the hardest problem in the world is an unispiring looking, shitty, polished limestone traverse?Bravo!!
I enjoyed Will's live stream where he was essentially saying it's much, much harder than Alphane whilst skirting around actually saying it.
[...] That doesn't seem unachievable with another half a dozen sessions or so and would suggest similar difficulty to Alphane (which would still mean Terranova is probably bottom end 9A!).
Enlighten me then. How else would you determine how hard something was than... how hard it was?
I still think it's the only way to grade something, with slight caveats: I would modify the grade if I'd wasted time on crap beta, crap conditions, or it was a style I was particularly good/bad at, but it would still mostly be about counting. Trying to judge how hard something felt on the successful go would be even more silly IMO.
