Graviton at Sale Gosse - R5,B43,Y19-20, Roche aux Sabots

COMMENTS

I don't think that this is 7A. My limit is 7A and I flashed it without struggling too much and did it 4 more times in other days as a warm-up. What's more interesting is that I flashed it without heel hooking. Even if you exit directly by only using the hump and the tiny crimp at the very top I think it's 6C. Compare this to Jet Set, Le Flippeur or Jeu du Toit and it's obvious that this is not a 7A.

Depends on what kind of climbing you like I guess. It took me more tries to send this one than Jet Set and Jeu du toit...

:) Yet another reminder about that grades are just opinions.

Really Guiz? Jet Set gave me hell but maybe that's because I'm 1.71m :) Jeu du Toit was easy though, I would say it's also a 6C as well but that's just me of course.

As you rightly write Anssi, grades are just opinions.

If u are small u can stand on that crimp true one but not every body type can do that. 7a is pretty OK

This is 7a, it just requires another skill set than most other 7a problems. For some really good climbers this is so hard, even having flashed the same grade or higher.

Did this one and two other 7As on the same day, the others being Jet Set and L'oblique. This one took me by far the longest, wouldn't call it soft. Top out was psycho.
