A Little Extra Grade
July 15, 2017, 08:21:41 pm
Anyone know why the grade in the BMC guide (7b+/7c with the boulder problem start) is so much higher than the one in the Rockfax (7a+/7b)? Has it lost holds?

It has lost holds between the boulder problem finish and the next set of jugs, but I don't think it really made it much harder (you can do this bit and still jump off from the higher jugs on decent mats).

Because the Rockfax grade is wrong? 7A into 7a+ must add up to more than 7b.
