It’s not really possible to judge how hard a climb is until you’ve actually done it. Lots of things “feel” easy when your only doing moves, or sections.. different story on link.

I wish people would stop downgrading things they have not done, and stop talking #$%# on people they don’t know.

Jade is one of the most repeated V15′s in the world because of it’s location. There are a lot of strong people in CO, and those such as Nalle make it a destination due to all the good climbing in addition to Jade.

I can eat säkki, but still you should all realy come to finland and taste our northern granite. I have seen though climbers trying 7c boulders here in Finland but they have totally sucked. Theyr normal level in europe and america is 8A-8A+. So it’s really intresting how they couldn’t do 7c problem. I wonder whye…..

numbers rule everywhere, its just something you gotta accept. So just because some chemical/plant growth hormone addicts Do Not Understand numbers, does not mean we have to follow The Idiocy, and The Lies.

ratings are ratings are ratings for a reason. they are awesome, prove difficulty and skill for climbers that send and fall. we know they have nothing to deal with how awesome the geology is! that is obvious. Crack heads.

Let me get this straight: The best reason you could come up with as to why it matters whether or not Wade is lying is that he suggested that a v15 might be a v13?

That matters? At all? Really, get a life. Or take your discussions over to 8a where the numbers rule.

YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP IN HERE….

NO one has mentioned Wades day of redemption has come and gone with NO video to show what we have all been waiting for.

So Wade, Where is the video? How did the move feel?

The only people that are allowed to discuss whether or not Jade deserves to be downgraded are the peeps who have sent…all other opinions are completely superfluous.
The Truth has the right idea – Good job Phil. You’re a beast.
