Try none.
This should be *the* hardest trad climb to date? Cobra Crack was the hardest at .14b...

Nice!!
She was one of the first people I watched gym climbing with their foot in a cast, and of course she was redpointing harder with one foot than I do with both. I've been gym climbing with 1 foot for several weeks, and pretty much every time I go to the gym, I remember watching her climb.
A2 CoS? Bet I could make it go at C2.

kudos to beth, that's rad!
cobra crack, as stated by sonnie, is anywhere from 14- to impossible depending on your finger size.

You guys are funny. Arguing about 14 a vs b vs c...
It's 5.14... 4 teen!!! How many of you send your 13 or 12 or even 11! projects! Damn that's impressive. Nice work.
And if I've read right Cobra crack still has no rating, maybe 14b/c and Beth's climb also say's "no rating" but "others" say 14c.
I'd say when Sonnie does Meltdown and Beth does cobra crack and maybe Didier does the both of them they can all determine the minutia of the exact rating together over some beer :)

Anyone know where in the park this former aid climb might be located?
Nevermind, just read it's near Cascade Falls.

thanks for posting that alpinist link. Pretty crazy, duct taping cams to your harness so you can pull them off quicker!! Really looking forward to the photos of the climb.

I seem to recall Didier using a velcro system for Cobra Crack.
