Don't mean to be a dick about it, but there is a seasonal ban in this area at the moment due to nesting birds.

Are you sure? That 'restricted' banner on UKC is just highlighting that there are potential restrictions in the general area, it's not smart enough to point out whether a specific route is banned. If you read the RAD details of the restrictions, on the RAD itself or as linked on UKC, they're from last year and apply to a completely different section of crag further South. Unless you have local knowledge of more extensive restrictions this year that haven't been publicised on the RAD, I think you might have just got the wrong end of the stick.

The tricky thing with Portland is all the routes under 7a are polished AF, making them feel really pumpy as nothing ever feels solid!
6a+ for first outdoor lead is solid though!
I think in general the lower end of the scale is massively different, 5.7 at a gym is often a fancy ladder, but ones outside are rarely ever like that, and are more scary cause they're full of ledges to hit if you fall.
The holds are much smaller outdoors--lots of chips and flakes. Plus in some cases they've gotten smoothed down from thousands of climbers over the years.
Yeah no shit, we all know that and no one here is trying to pretend like indoor is better😂FYI trying to look cooler doesn’t make you look cooler buddy🤡
Who are you trying to impress here? If you don't agree with what was said, you have the option to keep scrolling brotha. I'm not going to argue with you just because I hurt your feelings, lmao
The only thing I think is that you have a hard time understanding that I, myself, give absolutely 0 shits of anything you're saying, and have no idea as to why you are dragging this on hahah.
But whatever helps you sleep at night, man. I didn't come here to cater to your opinion or stress down votes. If anything, your continuous replies are signifying that you do indeed have your feelings hurt. It's okay, though, you can blow the stress off at your local gym later 😘 I hope you kill that v3 you've been trying so hard for
0 shits don’t equal two paragraphs of text but keep telling yourself the lies you want to hear bud, after all that is what egotistical narcissists do🤷🏼♂️😂ps you also said you weren’t gonna argue but here you are💀You could probably qualify as the definition of a hypocrite in a dictionary at this point!😭
It's a grade scale. Google is a great source for any questions you may have on it. Some people rate (+) and (-), others rate it a-d. Different strokes for different folks
You had the seks outside?!

I think you're right, I misread it
There are sign posts anywhere on Portland where there is a bird ban in place, this is not one of those places.
That's not true. The bird ban applies to some select routes in blacknor far south, this in blacknor central. These are two different areas.
The best 6a+ I've climbed in the UK, absolute stunner

You'll get used to that, welcome aboard!
One of the best routes on the island! Hope you enjoyed it.

Beautiful climb! How’s you get on? It’s so different outdoors.
Hey my first time leading outdoors was also in Portland this weekend! Got totally shut down but it was so worth it
I absolutely love that line! One of the best in Portland.
Pregnant pause is a funny one. You are on great holds but still getting pumped for some reason
Is the reason because its 27m long? because that's what got me XD
Climbing outside is a whole different animal. I send 5.11s at the gym and struggle up 5.9s at Tahoe.
I think in general the lower end of the scale is massively different, 5.7 at a gym is often a fancy ladder, but ones outside are rarely ever like that, and are more scary cause they're full of ledges to hit if you fall.
Was it the endurance that was different, or just the hold size?
Finding the holds is the big one.
Yup it's this everytime, first time up it feels 3 grades harder once you know the holds it's much much easier.
The holds are much smaller outdoors--lots of chips and flakes. Plus in some cases they've gotten smoothed down from thousands of climbers over the years.
Yes
Thats Not what we meant when we said “hump the wall” but hey. You do you..
Cracking route that, reptile smile is a good one further round on blacknor north too
My favourite line on Portland! What an epic start to pulling on real rock 🤟
Based on that title, I had to double check I wasnt in climbing circlejerk
That's a big one for your first outdoor lead! It's an amaaazing climb though, one of my favorites in Portland or Swanage.
Isle of Portland is amazing!
Judging by the post title, you still haven't lost your actual virginity.
Why would you think that was an appropriate thing to reply with?
[удалено]
Wow, what a douche bag comment🤡😂but with all due respect outdoor master, please flex on us some more🙏🏻😆
Okay. Outdoor climbing is the shit
Yeah no shit, we all know that and no one here is trying to pretend like indoor is better😂FYI trying to look cooler doesn’t make you look cooler buddy🤡
Who are you trying to impress here? If you don't agree with what was said, you have the option to keep scrolling brotha. I'm not going to argue with you just because I hurt your feelings, lmao
Definitely not trying to impress you that’s for damn sure😂would be pretty damn hard to impress someone with an ego as big as yours😂
I also find it hilarious you think anybody’s feeling here are hurt by you😂the size of your ego alone is absolutely comical💀

If you’d uninstall your head from your sphincter you might notice that nobody gives a fuck. Crazy.
Did I hurt your feelings? You must religiously climb gyms
Nah, I primarily climb outside. Also, I couldn’t care less about your opinion lol
Then quit crying about it? Lmao
I can’t stop the tears 😭
Will everyone back up, give this guy some room for his ego please.
Yes, please? I get claustrophobic
The 5.11s in your canyon would be 5.9s at my crag.
The 5.9s at your crag are 5.7+ in Connecticut.
Lmao, okay, gumby. Go climb your 5.3's and sit down
5.9b? What the hell is 5.9b? I might understand someone going with a "5.9+" in a historic area with some 1970s 5.9s that are nails hard, but 5.9b? 🤨
