That said, have you found nothing here that you can climb? Is our quartzite too slick? Our sandstone too gritty? Our boulders too bouldery? Here's what I'm feeling right now for my top-10-under-5.10: 1) Brinton's Crack 2) Swiss Cheese 3) Lost Face 4) Birch Tree Crack 5) Kings Throne 6) Queens Throne 7) Stuck Knee 8) Peter's Project 9) Air 10) Curving Crack |

No disrespect to bolters at the hollow, but I can't believe anyone would think Swiss cheese is in the top 10. Hydroponics was way better than Swiss cheese. I can barely remember climbing Swiss cheese and i wasn't drunk at all. |

Since I haven't been on Hydroponics yet, it can't make my list. I'll take this as a challenge to on site it when I'm up there next spring (unless we get a good thaw day yet this year). |

OK, that was uncalled for. Violating guideline #1 I suppose. I retract. |

I think you are well within Guidline #1 Eggs. You are entitled to both have an opinion and express it...even if it is dead wrong. :-) |

We'll find out, now. |

Back on topic...I'm still waiting for someone to tally up the votes for the best routes and create a consensus list. James? |
