I agree with dense.
It felt easier than things like Renegade Master, Slingshot, Western Eyes, Who needs readybreak, Bens groove sit start (caley), Terry etc which are all seen as 7c now
it felt harder than things like the terrace, Famous Grouse, Full Power?
and at least half the 7cs I have done in Font
. We're in a real danger here of sending the uk font scale the same way as the uk tech scale, ie by focussing on 8a as some kind of magic grade above which things are REALLY hard and constantly downgrading things beneath to unwittingly create a half-closed scale.
Full Power 7c+ (not done it but has been compared as similar in style and easier than Help the young sitter, which Ru gave 7c+).
stu, did you seriously put full power is soft 8a, but is harder than a lot of 7c+'s? well, i never
I'm only voting for 7c 'cos there's no 7a+ button.
I think JB, you first gave it 7c+, then thought better and said 8a
Quote I think JB, you first gave it 7c+, then thought better and said 8a A give it 7c+/8a at the time innit - based on the fact I didn't, and still don't, have any other 8a ticks on my cv to compare it to.
The sensible option would probably be to regrade John's problems as they're repeated
Slingshot is soft 7c if your tall
Of course, if I remember correctly, Westworld has been downgraded in Bonjoy's list
QuoteOf course, if I remember correctly, Westworld has been downgraded in Bonjoy's listSounds fair to me, might even have been my opinion that counted there. I did it quickly, I don't climb 8a, therefore its not 8a. I don't think the 'but so-and-so tried it and didn't' factor is reliable or useful as a rule. I've done a couple of things in the past that 'no-one else could do' so I allowed them bigger grades than I thought they deserved. Time has proven my original instincts correct.
