Should climbing grades be lowered in certain parts of the world due to lack of gravitational force?

Glenn Gordon wrote: Excellent point! We should probably also factoring Lorentz Contraction which makes those dynos harder to reach.

Blake M wrote: Wouldn't that make the dynos easier to reach since from your perspective the cliff is moving..and therefore getting shorter

Glenn Gordon, I surely do like your contribution. That Gravity Map clearly proves what I have heard said; "The East Coast sucks."

It looks to me like the East Coast of the U.S. sucks at about the same rate as downtown equitorial Guinea, or maybe Cameroon, Africa.

Aren't you forgetting the most crucial factor:
air resistance, aka friction from air molecules, aka fictionalized trolling force?

1. the faster you climb, the higher the resistance
2. the slower, the less the resistance which of course is why chameleons move so slowly.
3. but now the ever present, and non-fictionalized force, PF, pump factor comes into play

Thus one is very quickly into a Divergent Tensor analysis.

As long as we're posting xkcd comics, I'll add a very relevant one.

I don't think you'd want a bunch of pissed off climbers on your balcony because you downgraded a few climbs. But then again, how would they get up there?
