There is no Gritstone in America......  (seems like a good enough reason to come back for a visit to me....)
The UK is a lot closer to Font too (contrary to many opinions, still the area with the best bouldering in the world)

I agree font has the best bouldering in the world, shame about the climate though!

I don't understand, it is raining/snowing here too? The grass is pretty green though.

World class skiing and ice climbing, all in the same state, not bad for the 'off' season. :goodidea:

I do expect this to be controversial, but IMO, the grit would not feature in any world class bouldering list. I know there have been plenty of attempts at this already.

Where in that list is Chironico?  You must know it, it's where you're currently paying good money to stay...

Why with a tick list like that he should fly up the 8a.nu rankings.
