What do y'all think of the grade on this one? It is pretty hard, but I dunno.

you mean 'flight of the valkeries'?

it's tough. I find it hard, but it isn't my style of climbing really.

If a husband speaks in the woods, and his wife is not there to hear him...is he still wrong?

Yep. May be a twist off of the original title, I don't have the guidebook in front of me at the moment, but the piece by wagner is called "Ride of the Valkeries"

Very much a my style kind of climb, though I didn't like the crux one bit.

I think the grade is fair, once you have the sequence down for the crux (the traverse under the roof). It was the first trad 11a my partner seconded with no falls, if that means anything. Great climb!!
