Gotta repost this classic from rec.climbing 20 years ago, which pegs 10d as harder than 11a but easier than 11-. I wonder where 10 squeeze falls on this scale? mid 12?

Alistair:
I've seen 5.11 divided into 11 different grades of increasing difficulty, as follows:
.5.11a 5.10d 5.11- 5.11b 5.11 5.11c 5.9 squeeze 5.11+
.5.10 OW 5.12a 5.11d

Is Lazy Bum really a solid 10d?
I would not think so . . . we used to tr it whenever we did the Jamcrack, '78-'79ish, EB's.
Probably 10b+/10c-.

They call it a sport climb these days but we all know it was a freed aid climb. For some reason, one of my favorite little climbs. A very safe tune up........Classic 10d
