Face of NEWS is a great climb, at 5.10d or .11a or whatever you want to call it. Maybe it'll be part of the "11 best 5.11s" :-)-https://www.blogger.com/profile/15623921487703130941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991689424858192455.post-46190624500904955832010-06-20T22:45:32.177-07:002010-06-20T22:45:32.177-07:00Solid Gold is actually the combination of two rout...Solid Gold is actually the combination of two routes climbed several years earlier by some other guy, who rated the relevant pitches 10+. Plus I on-sighted it so it can't be 11.<br /><br />I was thinking you should add W Face of N Early as well. I think most people would call it 10d.<br /><br />Infinite Bliss should probably be on a Top 10 list as well even if it's a "sport" route.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991689424858192455.post-88403045754695757932010-06-18T19:24:38.552-07:002010-06-18T19:24:38.552-07:00yeah, not having climbed Solid Gold I wassreluctan...yeah, not having climbed Solid Gold I wassreluctant to give it a "from the couch" downgrade from 5.11- to 5.10+, but the W.

Considering the 11- on that route is pretty darn easy for 11- (i.e. more like 10+) maybe you shoukd add it to the list. And the standard south face routes are plenty harder than a lot of 5.10 climbs out there. Add them too?<br /><br />Dairyland on Nesakwatch Spires sounds pretty intriguing as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
