Well done!!!
I was working on this v4 for over 3 weeks. Everytime I would go to the gym I would spend 10minutes on it. Finally I get to the last hold. I'm tired as hell, i know what to do but the strengh isn't there. I think to myself "next time i will get this done for sure"
So come back to the gym excited as fuck to finish the problem and the problem wasn't there anymore! Route setters changed it!
Damn conspirators!
HOw about a pic of the problem?

I had my right hand in the pocket and left hand overtop of my right hand. to a really high one handed grab (im not good with climbing terms) Thats wat no one could get. I watched a bunch of people try it, but never get the dyno. From there you reached way left to kinda like a sideways crimp and then you work your way to the top, and i dont know how to explain it but it was fun.
dude that sounds almost EXACTLY like a v4 at the gravity vault in saddle river...was also my first of the grade..

Hey, I climb indoors and outdoors. I have enough experience to decide if there graded soft or not indoors and outdoors. Ive climbed v3s that i would have rated v2 and ive climbed v2s that i would have rated v3....Many others have tried this problem and agree on the grade... |

Maybe on Plastikclimber.com you sent your first V4 but this is Rockclimbing.com buddie.
No send on plastic is valid, its just practice. Like Allen Iverson practice...
Now go find a real V4 outside on some real rock preferably stone and get it done for realz.

lol, says some dude from Minnesota... lmao
You know your hardcore when your rockin Minnesota as a home base, yeah buddie!!
You probably spend more time talking rockclimbing than actually doing it eh? At least thats what your post count tells me, not even 5 years in site and over a thousand posts... But that's just a testament to the quality you spray here right?
Get in your car, drive 800 miles in any direction and be a real climber then you too will have every right to acknowledge me as the asshole I truly am.

spikeddem averages 4.4 posts a day.
Let's say each post consumes 3 minutes of reading and typing. That is jsut over 13 minutes a day. That leaves 23hrs and 47 minutes left to climb each day.

Somewhere around 4000 of them are probably in the last 9 months since I started working after graduating.
To be fair though, he is correct. I most definitely spend more time talking about climbing than actually doing it. Except for the spray part (jak would eat my boat), you're correct. I don't think I really spray on this site. You said it yourself, I live in MN, what do I have to spray about?
That said, depending on which direction the 800 miles is, I wouldn't mind climbing with jbone (if that IS his real name) at all. In two days 'll be on a multi-month climbing trip and looking for partners; if he's in the West, I'd be game.

jbone is old, weak, uses ICQ (woah, 2001 flashback), and spends more time spraying on this site than most users. Doesn't really seem like the type you would want to climb with.

Maybe on the third trip you'll have the misfortune of asking around about me.
If your really brave, you'll go find my lines...

here's a tip: every message board/forum, from knitting to rock climbing, has their azzholes. You are not unique. Your attitude speaks volumes about you personal life and your insecurities. Don't be 'that guy'.
Have a great day.
