Mt. Evans

Posted on 16. Jun, 2010 by in News

Angela Payne has made the 3rd female ascent of Clear Blue Skies V11 at Mt. Evans. Well done.
She has this to comment on the grade, “As for the grade, definitely not V12. I guess V11. Today it felt easy 11, but conditions were good.”

    this is too bad. i really did not want to add angie to my list of people to kill, she is a sunshiny sweetheart, but now, with this heinous act, it must be so.

    Peter pretends to take things the wrong way a lot, but he actually knows she means its easy for grade

    @Peter— that comment was sent as a text and i didn’t know it would be posted verbatim, so i will add some clarification that i couldn’t add in the text, which limits me to 160 characters :)
    basically, a few years ago when i climbed on CBS, i thought it felt like a solid 11. this year, with amazing conditions and a fresh perspective, i found that it felt a little easier than it did a few years ago. obviously, that could be due to a number of reasons. it is quite possible that my perspective on grades is skewed since i haven’t been climbing outside much in the past year.
    anyway, just wanted to clarify the above comment in hopes of sounding a little less definitive about the exact grade (because we all know we could argue that for all of eternity….)
