Read more, climb less and you might have a clue. It’s from the book Jemerson is about to read.

nice job with finishing the line! I saw you and sander out there this spring, and wondered if you had done it then.. Indeed, on reflection, it was not as hard for me as dark waters was, but i thought it was harder than gecko, given v12/13. I also thought it was harder than Trainspotting, or the Red Snapper, and about the same as Botox Bowtie in Joe’s. Having just come back from Font (and brushing snow off the climb the same day I did it) my idea of grade was probably (or obviously) a bit skewy.. I did suggest 8b though, with a v12 “footnote”. I edited what I could on Mountain Project ( I had donr the line from a different start, and forgot about MP.. Ahh, internet..) But i couldn’t figure out how to change the grade! Alas, it’s forever immortalized in the Boulder Canyon Guidebook; I bugged out a little when I saw that, and mentioned it to Andy Mann that I thought it well could be easier, that it needed some consensus before going to print.. Andy shrugged, and dropped some knowledge :”Ahh, well. Who gives a shit. It’s a good problem.”
Glad some other folks showed an interest, hope you enjoyed the climbing!

There is, indeed, nothing more annoying than to be, for instance, wealthy, of good family, nice-looking, fairly intelligent, and even good-natured, and yet to have no talents, no special faculty, no peculiarity even, not one idea of one’s own, to be precisely “like other people.”
