I dont know have I missed something here
from cocktalk:
Visiting American Alex Honnold made the third ascent of The Promise E10 7a, thinking teh grade to be more like E8 7a...
oh and he also did it with pads at the base...

Not missed anything.
Late this, (Saturday), afternoon. It would appear that the new sequence is easier than how James did it.

He has it down as French 8b on his 8a.nu :o

Anyone know if they've tried Careless Torque, Superbloc or Sampson? If E8 7a was my grade, I'd be heading straight for these three.

to this day it's still called superbok, as in beer not as in a super block

Didn't know that. Just going off the name in the guide. Should that be Super Bock then? http://www.superbock.pt/ (http://www.superbock.pt/)

It looks like he did it with James' original sequence and thought it to be F8b.

'yeah but it seems kinda wierd giving a route grade to something 7 metres high'

I think you are wrong about this. I had that conversation with Miles when he did it. Like the beer, but not the same.

Could this be the day when dense needs a plate and a knife and fork?

Could this be another day when dense needs a plate and a knife and fork?
