Hi Smelly Fox, how do you feel about changing some of the grades back to their aid ratings? So the Nose 5.10 C1? Its only had like 4 ascents at 5.14 so most/all people will be logging it as that. Alternatively, can we add new routes? so the Nose would have 2 entries? Also Triple Direct is in at 5.13d, it has the same crux as the Nose Thanks
