Ignore um bud. Nice job, keep up the good vibes my dude.
Aaannnddd…where were you born?
Who has the time to go to the gym every day and do cardio with a personal trainer? That will answer your question.
Why listen to the CPW (Colorado Parks and WILDLIFE for Christ sakes) about these decisions. Let’s just make a ballot initiative that completely opposes their recommendations and do what gives me a warm fuzzy feeling while I virtue signal.
These people are so fucking out of touch it’s mind boggling.
Dude, wtf, I didn’t give you permission to take my picture.
It means “it’s 12”. Not a easy 12 and not a stout 12. :)
All it really does is blur the grades, and that a positive. More of a gradient than a step up in difficulty.
10- = 10a/b 10 = 10b/c 10+ = 10c/d
At the gym I set at we have a joke.. it goes..
“What even is 10c?!”
Well than go fucking do it man and get off your computer. All you fucking do is post videos. Touch grass…eat a mallow

Well, this type of reasonable response would have been immediately shut down a few years ago. You would have been banned from 90% of Reddit for this type of sensible dialogue.
Also, feel free to use that indemnification clause at the end. Fred gave that to me quite a few years ago.
I think one of the neat things about being a guidebook author is the creative license. While some publishers produce all sorts of books in the same format, I have always loved reading books from all over the county because of the different styles and artistic approach.
I’m syked you are using +/-. It’s way better.
…you are showing wisdom and open mindedness that leads to the best possible answer/solution.
The percentage of distribution is quite varied as it really sort of depends on the climbs. I tend to rate the climbs I have developed a bit lower on the star scale. I do this as a concerted effort to work against my personal bias.
I, like you, love all the climbs, even the shitty ones. So for something to get 0 stars it has to for sure be the bottom of the barrel. BUT, bottom of that particular barrel.
For example, in my new guidebook, there is a boulder with two problems. Neither is very good, but I do give the better one a single star, simply to direct the climber toward the best climbing. Something like “of these two problems, neither is super great, but this one is better than that one”.
Of course, so much of this is simply opinion too. But I sort of think, “that’s my job” as a guidebook author. It’s to provide opinions as a trusted climbing advisor.
I will post the introduction I use for my books (part of which was given to me by Fred Knapp from Sharp End) so you can see it. ✌️
Mountaineers - This ranges from day hikers with no water or food who are destined for a rescue to Everest climbers.
Climbers - Anyone with a trad rack. This does not include anyone with a crash pad or who “climbs” harder than 5.9.
Alpinist - The most elite form of human. At least so they insist.
