Personally I find it rather UNenjoyable to be on a climb that's at my limit (in a 'moves' sense), only to find myself ABOVE my limit psychologically. Maybe its just me, but a runout, exposed climbs seem HARDER than than fully bolted, sheltered little numbers, even if there is a sense of similitude between the 'moves' themselves. HARDER = higher grade, no?
Is this whole thread just a mutant facsimile of the 'sport' vs 'trad' debate? |
