What's the most you've downgraded? - Lion of Judah (v2/9) & Sitting Bull (v3) - Leavenworth, WA

What is the biggest grade change you have ever wanted to give? 2 grades? 3? What about ... 7?
Everyone likes to downgrade and nobody likes to upgrade. We just think it was funny because we were ready to try SO hard on this highball v9 and ended up being very surprised by the results...

imagine having your life project downgraded by 5 grades… i’m 61 years old and thought all of my hard days of climbing were behind me but then i did it, i sent the mega proj! after 23 years my high ball project went down only to be called ‘v2 in my guidebook’ by some kid 💪

Bermuda triangle v3/4 but gets a 7 🤷‍♂️

[@BadWaterBouldering]

Great answer!

[@Yaimdan]

Ah yes the classic v9 that’s actually a v3

[@Julien-R]

(This is Julien)
I also flashed it (pretty much). I just pulled on start holds then dropped and looked for a foot then flashed. It’s been years since I’ve did that though so it’s hard to say how it would feel now.
But back then it felt really soft for me too. I gave it 7 with the other 2 points for headgame but that’s generous. I could see it being much easier but I honestly couldn’t give it a number unless I tried it again.

Really relaxing video to watch.

[@markstewart9362]

Rhino low I thought was a 7 maybe not an 8. Also y’all’s beta in sitting bull was crazy! I can just get a high foot and reach because I’m tall.

Bok choy is v5/6 but felt like v2/3 to me

[@Theboardbro]

I've climbed some boulders in Norway that were V4 and felt harder than most V6's I've done

[@BlindZizka]

V12 in my gym.

[@justingabriele3881]

Yeah I don't climb V9 but I guess that didn't look much like a v9

[@kockarthur7976]

V6->V2 and V10->V7 😮
