I'm With Deano on This One

Dean Potter does not grade his climbs... "I don't rate climbs because I trap and limit myself if I rate them." Potter added that he put in "maximum effort."

I'm with Deano on this. If I put in maximum effort, I don't care what you mere peons rate them.  (Like, some days, maximum effort for me is getting off the couch. You  might rate that type of move a 5.1 or less. But if it takes max effort, why should I be judged by you? Plus, I'm tired of being limited by ratings.)

So from now on, my climbs will all be rated "Max Eff."  See you on the walls. (Assuming I get off the couch.)
