I agree with you guys in that Chek has a total gym mentality. It has for the last 15+ years and the reality is that it's not going to change like it or not. People are not going to wear helmets, and they are going to continue to lounge around at the base of the wall. I think the best bet would be to...

Gorby, it's a sport climbing crag. There can be over 20 people below on a busy day. The route itself is totally out of place for the area. The problem is also that most people are unaware that there are people above them as the route starts around the corner and are out of sight during the entire cl...

Hey everyone, just wanted to express some concern regarding this route at chek which runs directly above the Circus wall. Anyone familiar with the area and this route in particular must know that this thing is an accident waiting to happen. I can't count the number of times I've had fist sized rocks...

...and people said it couldn't be done. It's a miracle of modern technology really. But seriously, what do you mean?

I was wondering if anyone has been on Fitness world lately at Rouge's? I was on it for the first time a few weeks ago and I notice a part of the rock that looks as though a hold had broken off recently up in the crux. I'm wondering if this is the case or if the route is just that damn hard. Cheers

I find the picture of the guy climbing with his shirt off on the homepage offensive, could it be removed please?

I tried to get info too. Apparently its top secret until some projects get sent.

Yeah, its either 5.10-, 5.10, or 5.10+. Way simpler.

I'm not saying grades in general aren't useful. I'm just saying that arguing over one letter grade is a waste of breath.

I mean two grades in general, not just 11c/d and 11d/12a. Perhaps you could outline the objective method you use to identify these grades and how it is grades are consistent for who is climbing it. A reachy 12b for me may feel like a 11d for someone a foot taller. There is really no standard that ca...

Can you really tell the difference between an 11c and an 11d, or an 11d and a 12a, ect. I sure as hell can't. I agree that grades are completely subjective. I could tell you how hard I think something is for me from 1 to 10. 1 being I could do it in my street shoes, 10 being at the limit of my physi...

so busted

Oh man, you have 191 posts. How much do you want for your profile? I'm talking cash here Brendan. I like your name better too.

Slander and confusion... that's what gripped is for.

Anyone know details about what happened to the starting flake of silent menace? I'm guessing someone did the jump start and tore it off. Is the climber/belayer ok? That was a HUGE piece that came off. No too sure if the route is all that possible to do now without aiding the start.
