Climbing grades indoor vs outdoor

Ronan Finney wrote:

Hardest I've climbed in a gym was a 5.10 at Active Climbing in Augusta, Georgia and I'm pretty close to 5.9 at The Edge in Melbourne, Florida. Does anyone have knowledge on any comparison? To be honest YDS really perplexes me and I have never seen any comparison scale that was accurate. I feel I have enough knowledge to determine bouldering grade, but definitely not YDS. Very odd. Very confusing.

Was this worth reviving this thread?

Looks like Conner is still upset that he didn’t get that new purple climb on the corner at the spot 

It's not a 3 dot, it's total BS

What does it mean if I can climb 5.12 outside but 5.10 inside? Thanks!

That you need to work on your trolling?

Why does a 5.9 hand crack feel differently than a 5.9 chimney which feels differently than a 5.9 OW which feels differently from a 5.9 finger crack, which feels differently from a 5.9 lieback, which feels differently from a 5.9 slab which feels differently from a 5.9 face climb which feels differently from a 5.9 roof problem which feels differently from the 5.9 lead problems in my gym which feel differently from the 5.9 tr-only problems in my gym which feels differently from 5.9 in Red Rocks which feels differently from 5.9 in Yosemite, which feels differently from 5.9 in Moab, which would feel differently from 5.9 on the Moonboard if it went that low?

They’re all the same, bro

ne?

Clearly what we need is a more complicated grading system to fully capture the diversity in 5.9

5.9 actually encompasses 95% of the climbing experience, especially if you include 5.9+

5.9+ incorporates 5.9 all the way to 5.15 and beyond….technically

Neon? Nebraska? New England? Idk what "ne" is supposed to mean.

A 5.9 is 5.9 bro...doesn't matter how it feels or if it's fingers, fists, crimps, jugs, steep, slab, in J-Tree or in the Gunks. Just 'cause someone has smaller hands or sucks at crimping or lives in NY doesn't change the consensus grade. Now with that said I won't tell you that you can't tick a 5.9 as 5.15, but you'll look mighty foolish if ya did, and it won't actually change the grade of the climb.

“Not not” so far from the frontlines they forgot what the actual frontline is

Thrones….theoretically, sure. However toilets are seats, NOT chairs. Chairs have 4 legs and a back. 0/2

A throne with four legs and a back…

Legs gotta be touching the ground. Nice try. 

Thread drift is a fact of life but this one should be up for an award.
