What are some of the most sandbagged routes in the US? I was thinking Hungry for Heaven at T-Wall is a good one.

Quite a few between the Gunks and Seneca alone but I`m saying Soler 5.7 on the East Face, South Peak, Seneca. The new guidebook(s) will be putting it as 5.9 possibly 5.9+.

I agree on Hungry for Heaven, that thing is very 10++. Others that come to mind would be: -Coexistence at the Gunks -Bombs Over Tripoli at City of Rocks -Barbeque the Pope at Smith Rock -Jesus and Tequila at the NRG (I've heard The Racist is pretty hard, too, but have not been on it) -Shredded Wheat, Rumbling Bald, NC -Wiggins II at Indian Creek -Sign of the Cross at Hueco Tanks. Now everyone can chime in and tell me how weak I am for thinking these were hard.

Wait.... people care about boulder problems? I think the most famous one in the Gunks is Modern Times. Listed at 5.8+ in the grey Dick Williams guide, but 5.10b in the (very silly) Orenczak/Lynn guide.

Yes to Bombs in the City! compare that to Gemini, not even close. also Diesel Driver in Gallatin Canyon and pretty much any route that Dwight Bishop did in Butte, Homestake pass. He kept getting strong, but his grading never changed!

Tits and Beer at Looking Glass Aerospace Cadet " Stannard's Crack at Mt. Yonah I've heard Shredded called 10d. Wouldn't classify it as a sandbag. How can you sandbag a boulder problem when there is not much consequence to getting in over your head.

Really?? 5.9+? I thought 5.7 felt right on for that one. I'll concede that the first pitch is scary but not hard, and i don't remember anyting particularly difficult about the second. I'd put West Pole at more of a sandbag than Soler.

IMO, most routes at Seneca and the Gunks To me, the one that stands out the most is the 2nd pitch of Birdie Party in the Gunks. Listed as 10b, I thought 11-.

Maybe I was just having a bad day, but it totally shut me down, and I'm usually pretty good at fingercracks.

Oh, and one other boulder problem (yes, boulder problems can be sandbags)-- Soap on a Rope at Rocktown. As the new guidebook says, "The hardest v5 at Rocktown. Oh, wait, it's v4."
