Aidan Roberts proposes 9A for Arrival of Birds
Aidan Roberts, who has already completed two previous 9A's, climbed Arrival of Birds in Chironico this spring. On an Instagram post yesterday, he decided to suggest 9a for this line as well. (c) Sam Pratt
"Acknowledging how well it suits me, I suspect this could be a pretty solid 9A, though aware that these boundaries are far from being well understood well and certainly not by myself. Grades, in all their inconsistencies, feel they ought refer to a feature of a boulder and not the climber so I hope that future ascentionists will help to offer their honest opinions."
