A note on the "10d" first pitch.

Er.....WHAT?!?!

Guys. There's this thing? It's called technique?

Anywhere on the planet, this little jam beauty would easily go at 9, as Lawrence here has it. NOT 10d as the new guidebook has it. Probably an 8 in Yosum.

I KNOW grade inflation pumps the ego...but PUHL-EEZE! Let's AT LEAST keep it somewhere in the neighborhood of real.

Yes the new guidebook has the brilliant first pitch at 5.10d. Please remember that Aaron Huey and many of the regular 1st ascentionists in Ten Sleep are sport climbers and really don't have good 'technique' for cracks. That being said I would place it at .10- based on the first two or three moves alone. I have climbed most of the 5.11's in Tensleep and somehow I glossed over this beautiful gem. This is perhaps one of Ten Sleeps finest climbs of any grade. The guidebook also says 'you must do the whole thing - DON'T JUST DO THE BOTTOM!' I defintely agree.
