Woah! Incredible as it is in sports, also climbinggrades are still going upward. Some afterthought and reflection on the ... of Clarke Mountainroute made Chris Sharma decide it was worth a big name and a big grade: Jumbo Love - 15.5b (9b), the first of it's kind in de USA.As the discussion goes, there are two other climbs in the world with a proposed 9B, Akira by Fred Roughling and Ali Hulk sit start extension from Daniel Andrada. Both seemingly different routes from Jumbo Love it is impossible to compare them. Check the blog at BigUpProduction for a more elaborate discussion about the grading. I can't wait to see the footage of this all !!
