Post by: Bubba on March 12, 2004, 06:48:18 pm: Ah yes, so it was - I can see it dropping some grades - it's hard to grade something 5 grades out....unless Dai Koyamada found a new easy sequence on the one he's just done or something...

Post by: Doylo on March 12, 2004, 06:50:04 pm: I wonder what he was comparing it to when he gave it 8c, there's not even an 8b slab out there is there? Enigma at font used to be 8b till holds broke i think.

Post by: BjÃ¶rn on March 13, 2004, 07:32:44 am: I think "Lacrima" is still 8B if you start low. No repeats that I know of.

it took him only 7 tries and 3 hours to send the problem,

he either climbs very slowly or likes long rests no.

what on earth does this mean? does this mean it took him 7 tries. why the f**k would anyone be interesed in a timescale. surely a better ascent would be 7 tries in 2 hrs. now that would be impressive!!! i would like to know if he rested for 30 mns between attempts or had 6 quick goes then a long rest??? :?
