i have a question about this route/problem... i saw a video of chris webb climbing it on youtube and the poster rated it v16...is that legit? I mean is it a consensus 16? I cant even climb near that grade but i figure that I would have heard about it if it were a 16... just wondering. Thanks.

Until Graham confirms it I'm not flipping out over the first v16 just yet. He tends to downgrade stuff, and has climbed enough 14s and 15s to know. Same goes for Sharma.

In all honesty, witeness the fitness looks harder, the holds are much crappier, so if wheel of life is a 16, witness the fitness (WTF) is....

Give me a fucking break, like you can tell from a video of a climb you couldn't climb if you superglued your hands to the holds.
You people crack me up sometimes.

This man is the right one. I'll certainly listen to Sharma/Graham/Nicole's opinions, but let's not pretend we get to have thoughts about whether Dai Koyamada's supposed "soft" grading is actually true or not. All of these guys are climbing at a level well beyond the ability of rc.n00bers to conceptualize. It's like non-physicists trying to discuss nuances of string theory...it just comes off as silly posturing, which is pretty much accurate.

I read an article about this and apparently, Wheel of Life links a bunch of V12s together. Thus, the whole thing, while very difficult, doesn't have an individual move harder than V12. Some have suggested it should have a route grade. Not that it matters, it's still impressive.

Preserved for posterity? I responded to this thread days later and your internet geek ass was on scrutinizing every thread in hopes to have someone to expatiate with you lexicon abusing slut bag.

well, on the surface your post seems very moronic. How many 5.13s or 5.14s do you think have a "move" of .13 or .14 (roughly v8-v10)?
I have heard several times that "To Be or Not to Bolt" does not have a move harder than v3. You would have to be a 5.14 climber to be able to do 60+ moves of solid v3, though.
However, you are touching upon the fact that endurance, not individual hard moves, can be just as relevant in boulder problems as to routes. Originally, the YDS was supposed to just grade the hardest single move. This would tell you little about a route at the RRG, or Indian Creek, or Maple Canyon, or about Witness the Fitness, or Wheel of Life.
The French get around this by assigned a separate "traverse" grade to longer problems that factors in endurance rather than just hard moves; Wheel of Life AND Witness the Fitness could both benefit from this.
