This route and Snooker are a couple of extremely cool lines. Once your feet leave the ground, you're racing to the top cuz there aren't many good rests.

well it looks as though it balances out to 12d, which is what the site and the poll says, so i guess we could just go with that IMO

automated-im hearin' ya, though he did put up some dope lines in the purgatory (where, if i recall correctly, he claimed he did not have the authority to rate routes, maybe he had the right idea...)

if you were listening i said i didnt feel I should rate the things at purgatory because i didnt feel they would be acurate because people come up with different sequences, rests, and shit like that. paradise lost is now more than likely 13a because everyone climbs out to the ledge that is 15 ft from the bolt line.

What is funny is that Snooker sees way more traffic simply because it is 13a and 8 ball is 12d.

After 2 goes.... 12d feels right. But who cares??? This is one of the 5 best sport routes I've ever been on. No questions.

512OW said on April 28th, 2008
If its 13a, you were doing it the hard way. 12d, no question. Not even hard for that grade, I wouldn't say.

But again.... raddest thing I've been on at the Lode.

Fun, interesting line on a cool section of wall. A few bolts of jugs, but then it gets on you. Thought going left onto the face was a little easier than going pocket to pocket in the dihedral.

the best route I've been on at the RED. looks plain techy from the ground, but ends up having the biggest collection of interesting and bouldery movements..
