Seven problems, zero grades: Pinnacle let climbers decide
A guest setter took over the Loft at Pinnacle in Bowmanville, and the gym left the grades off on purpose.
A guest setter took over the Loft at Pinnacle Indoor Climbing and put up seven brand-new boulder problems, with no grades on any of them. The challenge was to climb them, decide the grades yourself, pick your favourite and the hardest, and suggest a name.
You did not need to be an expert; the gym's point was to trust your own experience. Entries closed on September 27, and Pinnacle said it would announce the winners afterwards.
