d_sowerby Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 David S made a good point about assigning a grade, that if you are having a good day, it may seem a bit easy; an off day and its a bit hard. So to really get a good feel for a routes difficulty, you need to climb it a bunch over time. Just sending a route once makes ones opinion a bit less robust imo. I agree with you about my point, it was good :-). Going back to a route a year later (?) sounds like a good idea, but : You could have another good/bad day, throwing off your original grade You know the moves - I used to do Angular Motion as a warm-up, was it still 12a? it seemed a lot easier :-) I don't think the grading of climbs is going to get better/worse anytime soon - this is a good thing after all, look at how much fun we have discussing/spraying about them? -----------david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
