Same as Tomtoms survey but for routes.

Thanks all.

F6c+ onsight. But it was a Pedriza slab 6c+ so equivalent too F7d elsewhere.

(I really need the "how many E3s and E4s did you climb" poll as I severely punted at any non-trad)

Cool! Possibly daft question (but best to clarify) is this onsight, redpoint etc..?

Btw - I'm the 5.. Pretty sure I solo'd a VDiff by accident last year ;)

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?

Hardest.

Method is irrelevant just the grade. I expect for most regular sport climbers this would be a RP. But perhaps different for tradders or people who only sport climb on hols.

Responding to KingH

7C, 7b+, 8a+ and E3 (i think) - look where I'm under performing

If you've the inclination then use Google Forms, its pretty straight-forward and what I used for the benchmarking survey (PDF).

I have neither the time nor inclination to do the leg work I'm afraid.

Bugger. Still in the bottom 20%

Selection bias.

Shocked I've not finished bottom of either of these polls  :boxing:

Feels a bit unfair when your best grade is an onsight but that's my fault for not bothering to redpoint anything in my whole life ever.

I am the 6b. Well shit. I think it would split 6C, 6b, 6b, E2 so it's pretty obvious where my weak point was last year.

Bit of a funny year for me. I've only ticked Fr7b, but got close to another Fr8a project.

I've only actually tried 2 routes harder than Fr7b this year and I nearly flashed one at Fr7b+.

Plenty of Fr7a onsights, including one trad route!

Strange year...

8B, 8a, 7b, E? no trad at all this year....

I think my strength(motivations) weaknesses show pretty well.

BTW, why does this poll only go to 9a? I'm asking for a friend, obviously...

7A, 6b(? can't remember trying many onsights this year except for warm ups), 7b, No trad.

Was happy enough with the 7A and 7b which equal my best ever (from 2013). Until I found out I am way below average!

I'm going to train hard to achieve mediocrity in 2015!

50% of people are below the median  ;)

By training hard to achieve mediocrity you may simply contribute to raising the level of mediocrity....and then still be below the median (and mean which is often very close to the median in normally distributed data).

Isn't the French ->trad -> tech grades on this conversion a bit skewiff?

I did a few E6s, do I really get to tick 8a/8a+?
