| This feels a lot like 10+ to me. Chino grades are getting stiffer! Well, I guess it's the .10b thing.. no way Loran! Low cruxes are accessible to rehearse, but that doesn't make a ground-up, no falls, no beta onsight any easier. |

| I don't know, Chris, it didn't seem any harder than .10b to me. I did get to watch Jim on it a little bit before leading it, but I pretty much read it right from the ground with the exception of knowing about the sweet clipping horn on the top aręte. Really fun route; best I climbed that day. |
