Bad Casting?? - (Sasha Grey As The Virgin Mary)

Speeding Car Barely Misses People at Pedestrian Crossins

GenjiKilpatrick says...

In all honesty, you have dumb thoughts about this particular subject.

"Hey Sasha. I know that it seems as if we're in no danger at all, tho we'd better dash across the street in case some reckless asshole comes speeding outta nowhere."

'Indeed. We'd better had, Boris.'

In all honesty, I think this may be the pedestrians fault.

EDIT: Nevermind she seemed older.


Why is it that whenever a woman accomplishes something, somebody will comment on how she looks?

In the USA for roped climbing most climbers rate the difficulty with the Yosemite Decimal System (YDS).

First to explain the five in a "5.14d" understand the below:

Class 1: Walking with a low chance of injury.
Class 2: Simple scrambling, with the possibility of occasional use of the hands. Little potential danger is encountered.
Class 3: Scrambling with increased exposure. A rope can be carried but is usually not required. Falls are not always fatal.
Class 4: Simple climbing, with exposure. A rope is often used. Natural protection can be easily found. Falls may well be fatal.
Class 5: Technical free climbing involving rope, belaying, and other protection hardware for safety. Un-roped falls can result in severe injury or death.


So that explains the "5" in a 5.14d

Now 5.1-5.9 with each .1 you have another level of difficulty. From 5.10-5.15 you have 5.10a,5.10b,5.10c,5.10d and so on. Each letter change represents a full level or degree of difficulty.

Thus the difference between a 5.14a and a 5.14d is the same difference between a 5.6 and a 5.10a - or four levels of difficulty. While this may seem subjective climbers usually come to a consensus regarding the grade of a route over time.

Most people I would consider in reasonable shape can climb 5.6-5.8 in the first few times they climb. In contrast I have been climbing for about sixteen years and I climb about 5.13a (with many many attempts!).

Pure imagination may cater to Sasha's particular climbing style - thin crimpy moves. She is amazingly strong.


That said I have been to the base of this route and am amazed ANYONE is able to climb it.

No one is insane enough to try to free solo that - yet - maybe never.
Even for the world's strongest climbers 5.14d is going to involve moves that they have a low percentage chance of making. The exception being Adam Ondra who this year on-sited (climbed first time, no beta) several 14c's.
Still I can't see even someone at his level attempting a free solo like this anytime soon.
To put it in perspective Alex Honnold who is getting ALOT of press for free soloing typically is climbing very far below his max. That is - he solo's 5.12 routes but is a 5.14+ climber.

Care to explain the rankings?

Higher is hard presumably, but what do the letters/numbers after the decimal mean?

What she did is termed freeclimbing, ie. not using anything other than your limbs in contact with the rock to get up. You meant soloing, ie. no rope.


Ah k, thanks for the clarification. =)

I wonder if anyone's been insane enough to solo that... ; )
