Yes, it's pretty tall. You can pinball against the boulder behind (picture perfect boulder).

Yes, after the rounded part about 75% up, it gets pretty blank.

It's directly behind (southwest) of the Picture Perfect Boulder.

Blah blah ... every single send on here calls it a v8. So a v8 it is.

Should we make a 2nd one for the sit, then? If so, are there grade differences between the two?

"and if being a lone wolf means i get to disassociate myself from the socal scene, then it looks like i finally got what I wanted! w00t, hurray internet!"

You're gonna let a thread on the interwebs make you disassociate yourself from the socal climbing scene? Remind me again who's the one getting "butthurt"? Sheesh man. Look, if you can't stand a little heat, don't post such an inflammatory comment in the first place.

ps Your argument that we all just give massive star ratings to tall climbs is a little ridiculous. Look at that list of 5-star problems again. Movement, history, setting -- they all have them. Not just height.

2 stars is a good rating. Look around the rest of the site/guidebook and you'll see that. 4-5 star ratings are VERY hard to come by (as they should be), leaving 2 and 3 star ratings for relatively decent climbs. There's no way this climb is better than something like Da Way or Methane (both 3 stars). Heck, Crack O Pop is far superior and it only gets 2.5 stars.

But like you said, subjective. If you want to be the lone wolf, you're more than welcome. I truly hope that one day, though, you'll climb something REALLY good -- and you'll realize this climb is, well, 2-stars.

**EDIT**
You gave this thing 5 stars? Are you freaking kidding me? You think this climb is as good as Change of Heart, Thriller, Midnight Lightning, and Planet X?

Man, you need to get out more.

Two stars is pretty decent for a 8-ft tall, semi-chossy climb. It's a fun little problem, but I strongly disagree that it deserves more stars.

There's no way to add a problem without giving it a grade. This is tricky for projects, but I think it's fine to let someone give it a "guess" grade. When the FA goes down, we can change the original grade it was "guessed" at.

@Tatt - if you don't remember, just pick an old date and stick to that for sends you don't remember. Like Jan 1, 1990 or something. That way, you don't show up in the "latest sends" list, but you still have a way to keep track of your ticks (and have a say in the ratings).

@heretic -- if you think it's easier than a v6, why'd you tick it as a v6? Confused...

You really think you got the FA, Aron? Really? pfffft. Not like that thing was hiding out or anything...
