My understanding has always been that 8B is V13. Think of V13 problems like Crown Of Aragorn or Circadian Rhythm in the US that people have down as 8B.

On 8a.nu Dave Graham has 102 boulder sends rated 8B or over. Is that standard to equate 8B with V13? Converting grades seems a bit wishy washy in general, but the stuff I have seen puts 8B at V12 or less. Thoughts?

i’ve heard that most of the muir trails are now cleared, but the road remains impassable. i would also imagine the southern region is getting a fair amount of chainsaw attention. not sure about the areas on national forest land; there might some doubt as to how one might proceed with a chainsaw on public property.

I know some people that were just there this weekend. Not sure what the conditions were like. I assume decent enough for climbing though.

Narc– did your sources reveal if people are still climbing in the Red at this time?
