In reply to Quarryboy:
JP had been living in Europe, doing serious dedicated training. From what little i've read he seems to be saying he feels like he's improved massively. So not really fair to compare the ascent for a measure of what's harder, as he's now a different climber.
I was under the impression MC was soft E10. Though one man's soft E10 is is anothers very hard E9 i guess...i dunno. Cant climb either
Just the fact you have a super long run out....which has very real deck potential if you fall just before placing the gear for me suggests E10.
