note Jefe or Grande? New

Forum: BoaterTalk

Hi Folks,

I'm having a hard time trying to decide between the Jefe and the Jefe Grande.  I'm a medium sized guy (5'8, 155 pounds), dedicated to creeking 5/5+ stuff.  I've currently got a broken Jefe and am trying to decided whether or not to go up a size.  I like the performance of the Jefe but am thinking that the Grande might make me feel even a little bit more confident running the big stuff.  Of course, I'm a little nervous that the Grande might be too big for me... I don't have access to demo a Grande in my area.  Advice?

P.S.  I also plans for doing an overnight trip in Cali this summer

Thanks in advance,

Dr. Mindbender
