But is it? Westie bagged WE's in about an hour, after throwing up on the way to the crag due to heavy night before, yet ain't done BP.
Just imagine trying to do BP for the first time, if it had WE's landing, it would feel monster!
We're pretty similar in overall ability,
Bear in mind Lamiche flashed BP with no local knowledge
And who's westie?
Anyway BP is 7c if you can do it, it's just that some people find the heel sequence hard/impossible so they drag the average grade up. WE is just straight slapping up slopes. If you were very happy with using heels, BP at height over a bad landing would be fine, but if you are one of the people that find BP hard then it would be loads more difficult than WE if it was in the same position.
I think anyone who has done both several (3+) times...
