That's better, but I'm not ticking a french grade for UK (very) trad routes on principle.

We need a trad one... seems I might not be near the bottom of that one.  :blink:

Simply posting the grades you've climbed is pointless since it does not in anyway aid aggregating them across the submissions to give any sort of overview.

This is why surveys are being posted and linked, because no one is going to bother sitting down and collating the grades from individual posts.

I'm just glad this one is here so that I feel less sub-average (6C+ looks depressingly far down the bouldering responses, 8a is still performing respectably on the route grades).

I'll vote once you clarify whether this is onsight or RP. Given you're asking for sports grades I'd suggest the latter.

Best of all would be if there could be one poll combining hardest boulder, o/s sport, RP sport and o/s trad so that the correlations could be tracked.

For me it would be 7A+, 7a+, 7c and E5.

Maybe someone with better IT skills than me can create such a poll come the end of 2015?

Doesn't take long on google forms.. http://goo.gl/forms/C8F4He2f7R

Can you change the title to 2014, Conor?

I honestly thought you bouldered much harder than that mate - mid 7s or so. Just a quiet year on the bouldering front I guess?

7C, 7b (OS), 7a (RP), E5


Scotty, presumably you are lying about your trad grade to protect your identity, or else you are talking about onsights only?

You're too kind!
I didn't really do any bouldering last year. But in other years my best efforts have been a ~15 move power endurance V7, a few ~V6/7A things of "normal" boulder problem length at widely spaced intervals, and a 35-move 7B/+ (I can't take seriously the concept of giving something that long a bouldering grade, to me it's 7c+).
