It should still be a 5.6 in my opinion, but Chris and Marc's book is 2nd to none. Best guide book I have ever seen really. Who knows whose idea it was to upgrade it. I was on a 5.11b today (Dreambed) that is orginally graded that by the FA's, where we thought it was 5.9-5.10. I never put too much stock in grades, just enjoy the day, period. Going up and over Snowpatch was a blast. Wish we could have made it up and down all three of them (Snowpatch, Pigeon and Howser) in sequence like I had planned. Weather did not cooperate, plus I guess 50 is not the new 30! Cheers.
Thanks Eric, took two tries this summer, but finally got a great weak on the 2nd one. Give er a go again next summer and see what I come up with. Starting to look at some of the more obscure stuff at the Bugs. Cheers.
