More information:
Vulnerability is THE price of freedom. Regarding "personal info" portion of site profile, my personal metric for claiming a given skill level in climbing is fifty onsights at the grade (totally arbitrary #, yet enough to demonstrate that it's no fluke). Context is critical in gleaning any meaningful insight into potential new climbing partners actual real world skills. So in my case that means 5.11 (had to chose a letter grade on the menu here, so picked 11c)cracks on all types of rock and a good mix of all types of routes, thin, wide, offwidth, etc. at perhaps 50 different areas in maybe 15 different states. Many people these days will claim to be a 5.12 climber having worked a redpoint on a few routes...and though I've had maybe a dozen 5.12 onsights that doesn't make me a 5.12 climber since I can not do it consistently on all types of terrain. I climb at the exact same level on sport routes but in a sense that can go unsaid since if you can do it trad you can obviously do it sport, sport being the lesser measure. For me onsighting new terrain is everything and I tend to lose interest in a route once I've done it once, whether failure or success. I've yet to work a route in 25 years of climbing but I don't mind belaying a partner(for 50% of any given day of crag climbing) on a single route if that's how they want to use their portion of a day, but prefer to always be focused more on mileage and new experiences. |
