Of course you can have an opinion, I've got endless opinions on stuff I know very little/fuck all about so you having an opinion on the grade of a problem you've almost done is fine and dandy. But if someone is making bold statements about a problems grade it would be informative to know whether this was a ticked problem, work in progress or even based on a hazy memory from several years ago when said person had a play on the moves for five minutes and it didn't seem that bad. Just to get a sense of perspective.
no, because that doesn't make any sense.
How is what I said hogwash exactly?
Is the word on the grapevine right, Tim? Are you Sheff-bound soon? Discussions under the motherboard will draw crowds for sure..
I waltzed along to the final move of a problem in Magic Wood given a lofty grade and then fell off tickling the jug. I tried this a few more times (less than 3) and it was seriously just a matter of time before I stuck it. I instantly pronounced it soft.
what are people's foot sequences on tsunami for the matching sloper bit? i find the match hideous. (the crux is never getting into that undercut)kudos easy way is not 7a+ you mentalist albarro. 7b. agree with others.
If you flag your LF to the correct hold it creates a solid position to be able to reach for the undercut in control. Really important to get the RH sidepull just right too. I found if I didn't get it spot on then I couldn't do the move.
in which case you do, i apologise. There is a difference between saying something is hard and saying something is soft for the grade, namely, having done the route or problem.
