Paul Robinson made quick work on Big Worm, but he tried the problem two years ago and furthermore how can you make a statement as he done that the problem is soft but anyway sign it as 8B+ on 8a?

grades describe a continuum, transitions from one grade to another are blurred. that is why slash grades or soft/hard comments are used. paul doesn't have a scorecard, he only uses the logbook. maybe he didn't downgrade out of respect for the other ascentionists. just a few thoughts..
