"Technically never climbed 5.14"

Posted by Forum Question on 5/21/2007

Katie,

At the Rendezvous what did you mean when you said "Ive technically never climbed 5.14"
Just wondering. Cool slide show by the way, and very inspirational
Regards,

Well, the deal is, I onsighted two routes that were rated 5.14a when I did them, but were downrated to 13d shortly after the fact. I'm not sure what grade they're considered to be these days. I think it depends on who climbs them. :)

If the climb was a joy, and a challenge, who cares about the dam numbers!!! /Sorry. Just don't care to compete or go for grades. I love the mountain experience for what it is.

Katie,

Omaha Beach @ the Motherlode has had some stuff break off since you did it so it's supposedly back up to 5.14a. I don't care what the grade, onsighting any route in the Madness Cave @ the Lode is simply amazing!
