I clicked on your cool picture but as soon as I saw 13b I had to click off. I have no business even looking at 13b's.

some of the best climbs in the world are under 5.10 and i must say one of the best climbe i have climbed is this 5.7 but it is fun to climb the hard stuff some times

The hardest I ever climbed was 12c and it took me six days (on and off) and about 35 failures before I could pull the crux. I decided then I never needed to climb harder than 11. My ultimate goal for this Summer is to try and trad lead 10's, if I can do that I will be happy as hell.

You can do it! A trad lead of 5.10 is better then doing a sport 5.11 any day!! I pulled a 5.10c last week. I almost got a clean on sight. I did take a good fall. I fell on a #6 bd nut. My fall was on the second pitch. I lowered to the belay station, rested and fired that crack off no problem the second time. Its funny how much easier things are the second time. So to me the true reality of climbing is the traditional on sight. I am in no way belittling sport climbing, I like that to. I for one will never get up a 5.13. My last hard sport climb was 5.11d slippery when dry in the Platte. It kicked my ass and that was slab 11.d. So we all have different things we like and that are what makes climbing so great
