baggyrichards	slate grades May 30 2007, 3:50 PM EDT go and climb collosus or flashdance or Splitstream then make up your mind. Its different just like trying to compare the peak to the pass ie an E2 in the pass compared to Left Wall Post reply Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: None
Mirf	1. RE: slate grades Sep 11 2008, 10:48 AM EDT Still find it hard to get my head around slate grades. Managed to do True Clip the other day, I think compared to other slate routes it's probably right. I visited an old school limestone area called La Chambotte in france in June and the 7b+'s there were nails but comparable to slate sport grades. Also played on Spong at the weekend has this really been downgraded to 7c ? I know my arms were a bit tired from Parisella's the day before but that dyno is pretty big or is it possible without the dyno, which would probably be at least 8a static. Great routes whatever grade Post reply Do you find this valuable?
