โ4 days for the side proj of Ratsa [Vibration (9b)]. I struggled a lot more than I thought. One move at the very top cost me 6 falls. 2 minutes of climbing for 35 moves. I used my runner skills for this short power fingery route. This debate of grading is so shit because if you want a 9a you climb without kneebar. But for me itโs just annoying to use kneepads in such a pure cliff. So for sure 9a without kneebar. 8c+ with. But today thatโs the rule. Maybe I climb an 8c+ in an harder way. I donโt care, itโs such a cool route and a good effort.โ
