Some history about boulder #climbing grades. From easy, all the way to unforgiving nightmare xD V17 looks absolutely nuts.
Not sure if I learnt anything new about grades, other than lower V is easy and higher V is difficult though lol Some of the middle blocks in the scale look somewhat similar to me.

Retreat (aka bail) anchors need to be strong enough for a rappel, use a minimum of gear and cordage, and be simple to rig so you can do it under potential stress. Learn the principles here. Premium Article available https://www.alpinesavvy.com/blog/alpine-retreat-anchors-part-1

I know a lot of climbers and Hick is certainly representing that group of people.But, it sure seems like fixed climbing anchors are a perfect example of "permanent installations,” exactly what's banned in wilderness.Why should climbers be exempt? Because they're my friends and have fun climbing?Explain to me why it's wrong to ban permanent installations in wilderness or why climbing is special.https://coloradosun.com/2024/09/23/senators-hickenlooper-climbing-anchors-wilderness/#Colorado #wilderness #climbing
