I'm sure you won't have missed the opportunity to try the classics like Karma, Atresie, Partage, Surplomb de la Mee, Satan i Helvete, Gecko, la Merveille, C'etait Demain, etc. If you want to compare grades then stick to benchmarks, not soft as sin problems. I'm unsure why you haven't been up to do the big 4 (or the big 5) as you're capable and they are outstanding. Big Golden is a real benchmark for 7C+.

next: interesting point about dg. we had actually been discussing this recently… that dave not only goes out and sends a project, but also puts laps in on hard stuff, and then goes batshitcrazy on moderates, and then probably walks in circles constantly until he drills a hole through the earth, popping him out at a new climbing location to start the process all over. the wormhole theories in astro physics were actually founded on emperical data gained from observing graham and his terra-porting through neurosis holes. grand canyon was formed by him pacing, as well.

i know that i and others have given him crap about comments, etc, but the bottom line is that he is certainly a character and has been as much or more of a force in pushing u.s. climbing to where it is today.

don’t repeat that, though. the fleeting nanosecond of satisfaction may offset the harmonic spin in his newest bore hole, causing earfquakes and such.

I hope the weather allows you, Angie and Olson to wrap up the trip with a couple more sends. Good luck. That slab looks amazing Jamie.
