Re: 5.11c + X, Bravo!Thanks... Keep in mind that, per my description, the section of the climb which earned the x grade was difficulty 5.9. The.11c section was relatively more safe...

Re: 5.11c + X, Bravo!I would call it 5.11c (5.9x.) Of course this is not the standard way to use the decimal system, but it works and most climbers will understand it.
Over on MountainPost someone is calling it 5.11b/c r/x. Whatever. I can't see where 80 feet to the ground is "R" ...
And yes, when Guyzo just took off with full commitment it was something to see.
Cheers.

Re: 5.11c + X, Bravo!Borut,
Kris is a LOT better than anyone knows. He is just modest to a fault.

Hi Kris,sI wish I was there to take a hundred photos.
I'm sorry I didn't make it to J-Tree to hook up. My wife and I spent a lot of time in Utah.
Looking as awesome as ever,
Marc

Re: It's really aWhat were you searching for?
Hey guess what... If you go by Randy Vogel's definition of "R" rating (from his Joshua Tree guide,) it's not even an R.
"R Rating: If a route is poorly protected at the difficult sections,but not without some protection, it will be given an R rating. A fall on a R-rated route, at the wrong place, could result in a very long or serious fall that results in injury or death."
Whatever. Don't fall off up there.
I edited the page to "R."
