The first pitch of Hotel California is 22. I told Mikl on the first ascent, Shaz told Mikl on the first ascent, everyone else has subsequently told Mikl, so if it's still "21" I'll buff my butt with a cheese grater.
It's very true that the rest of the route is under 20 and very very good. So, a bit of a lie isnt that bad, although I did tell mikl that people were going to FREAK when they got on the first "21" pitch.
