Joe Kinder (36) establishes Bone Tomahawk 9a (+)

Rock & Ice reports that Joe Kinder, who previously has done six 9as, has done the FA of Bone Tomahawk in the Fynn Cave after six years and some 40 days of projecting. (c) Tristan Greszko. "Regarding the grade, Kinder says, it could be “a normal 9a [5.14d] or a 9a+ [5.15a], but hell.... I don't know and don't want to state anything I'm not comfortable with. What’s next on the docket for Kinder? “The extension,” he says, which “[tacks] on an 8b+ [5.14a]. I linked the section yesterday.... I can do it!” It should be noted that R & I has given it 9a/+. Such slash grade is normally used when you define that the difficulty is exactly in between two grades. Joe seems to indicate that the grade is rather either of the two grades, that is why 8a has reported it as 9a (+). Furthermore, slash grades are hardly ever used by the community nowadays.
