Description

The Horse Flats mega classic. The spot most people meet at and a common place to warm up.

B Grades

"Originally, B1 indicated a boulder problem that was 5.11 or harder. B2 indicated a boulder problem that was considerably more difficult than a B1 problem; and B3 was an even harder problem, so difficult, in fact, that only one person had ever succeeded in climbing it. If any B3 problem was ever repeated, the rating was automatically downgraded to B2. Since John Gill's time, the standard of difficulty has progressed, as has the YDS, and B1 has been transformed into the standard 'very hard' problem, equalling 5.12." Craig Fry page 2.
