> The problem is that I had determined to get back into climbing with the goal of leading an extreme, a grade that I never led when I did climb. I feel a little demotivated now. Is it really E1, didn't feel that way. any suggestions for new target?
The problem with picking a trad grade as a target is that it inevitably leads to a paradox. To get to E1, or any grade, you need to progress through the lower grades. But that means, at some point, you will lead something that is borderline E1 (E0 in UKC parlance), and then of course you'll be wondering whether you really did lead an E1, or not.
Alternatively, you could pick something that is definitively, undisputedly, E1 ( Like Left Unconquerable ) - but for that to be your first E1 you'd need to avoid a whole load of other climbs that are borderline.
If you just state your aim is to climb Left Unconquerable, or similar, then you don't have this problem.
