I Climbed the Best Rated Routes at My Local Crag

How much better are 4-star bouldering routes than 1-star problems? In this video, I test the popularity ratings of popular and not-so-popular climbs at a local crag in Carter Lake, Colorado. Sometimes, I think I place too much emphasis on a route's star rating. And the more time I spend climbing routes that have 1 star or less, the more I think these routes deserve more credit!

Nice video. Climbing should be about having fun, you seem to have a good grasp on this. Cheers!

Great series

[@drewjarrell2667]

awesome vid!

[@thepizza9168]

Nice video. Cant imagine ever seeing enough chalk to have beta. Even at my popular crags they might get 3 recorded climbs a year.

[@Natemitka]

Are they 4 star climbs?

[@thepizza9168]

My state rarely gives out 4 stars for sub v4s but the 2 4 stars I've done had nothing. Bouldering in Connecticut has only say 20 main people putting up routes over the past 25 years for MP. I find boulder routes by the age of the lichen and moss.

Fun had by all

[@Natemitka]

Thanks Mark!

Doesn’t seem fair to give a climb a bad rating when you only give it some half ass attempts and star grade it based off it being scary but I still enjoyed the video

[@Natemitka]

Hah. I feel that! I wanted to give it a rating for the video, but I didnt end up rating it on Mountain Project so as not to affect the grades

[@bennyneedsbeta8377]

Come to Ute!

[@Natemitka]

Oh would love to!

[@philippnachbaur15]

What’s the website called?

[@Natemitka]

Called Mountain Project! Its big in the USA

You can’t star a boulder problem or route unless you’ve sent. No exceptions. (Great video otherwise)

[@thepizza9168]

I would agree. You can't see how good it is if you haven't done every possible move and put weight on every hold to see if they can handle it. If it was so flaky that it was too dangerous to finish id just put a comment. Hell CT has an entire area known to be so chossy people constantly pull head size pieces and it's still high rated.

[@Natemitka]

I feel that! I wanted to give it a grade for the video, but I didnt end up grading it on Mountain Project especially since it had so few ratings
