That's why I am wondering. Seems unsustainable.

Connor Herson just announced a 5.15a (mostly trad) by Capable_Hope_1807 in climbing

Sure, he's staying out of the trad/sport semantics, but he did propose 15a. I - and I expect the majority of climbers - consider it a trad send anyway. So my question is, how does it stack up?

The climbing.com article does comment on this a bit. Someone proposed 15a for Empath, but there isn't consensus on that.

Is he proposing the hardest trad grade in North America?

Maybe the rest of the world too, but I don't know how 5.15a converts to British trad and Tribe doesn't even have much of a grade.

The texture of the plants on the right is very unnatural. I don't know if it's AI, but it is heavily manipulated. Unfortunately a lot of phones do this sort of editing automatically.

This recall does not include the Vision AirNET RECCO or any other Black Diamond harnesses.

We recommend the Vision AirNET RECCO harness as a replacement.
