Ω Sometimes we (Powerband) report important matters, like groundbreaking first ascents, significant repeats and earnest grading thoughts. And sometimes we report trivia, like dating tips and ways to get banned from Mountainz. Today is a ‘nothing significant to report’ day. Specifically, it’s a ‘here’s a little video of a small, far away boulder problem that nobody will ever repeat’ day:

Ω 8a.nu, apparently fighting the good fight since (at least) 2003:
“8a has since 2003 been fighting the grade inflation and supports the thoughts of Graham and Robinson. It should be noted that several websites have already reported it as an 8C+!?”
Thanks Jens, but Powerband actively has been against grade inflation campaigning 1998 (at least) since. In fact, hardest reported the ascent Powerband in history V12 is. Besides, does anyone over the age of 12 take P Rob seriously?
If you want more “thoughts” on grading, here’s what Stoo Kurth has to say: stuartkurth.com
Or if you want an alternative to 8a.nu, try: sendage.com
Ciao for now Ω
