So had a look at adding some UK routes ... but there seems no way to grade using the UK system. Would be much better to add UK grades for UK routes .... and leave US climbers who know their grading system to add US grades (or have a conversion chart available) thanks mikehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_grades chart's at the bottom. |

I brought this up here and got a generally positive response to the idea but nothing ever got done about it. In general, I can see why they want some kind of consistency with a YDS grade (or guess) for everything, but an optional "international grade" field would be really useful. |

Nice one Nick - thats for bringing this up |

I've been climbing off and on for the past 10 yrs in the US. This past January, I moved to the UK (Scotland), so now I'm trying to understand this grading system relative to the US. I agree, having the "local", not just the YDS grading would be helpful. |
