I just thought your comments were pretty weird compared to what the original poster had written. If someone says they are seconding 5.11a/b comfortably, it is pretty likely they can climb 5.9 but they might simply be nervous on the sharp end.

And then having questioned her comments about what she climbs comfortably you gave a detailed report on your climbing prowess which seemed completely out of context given that most of those higher grades (24-27) involve multi-day sieges and regular failures whilst the grades just below that (22-23) frequently involve a fall or two prior to successfully climbing them. I got the impression that Eleddy was simply talking about what she could climb, not what she could dog her way up after days of effort. (She is only here for two days!)

I do agree that prior to being injured you were comfortable leading grade 20 (even 21 and a number of 22s) at Arapiles.
