I do not know why you dont like to give grade suggestions, but I know why I do like them. Mabye just a range like ~6b-6c for us to know if it's worth trying or not, if it will put up a good fight or not. It would be interesting to hear why u dont gradesuggest your climbs. Anyhows, so sweet!Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04829288486518058370noreply@blogger.com
