What’s the ukb consensus on the new eGrader tool? This cursed climbing sub stack is a good read. Personally I tried it and thought it overgraded

I don’t really care, but when I saw it on UKC the first thing I did was check the date published, assuming it would be April 1st.

Genuinely thought this was a delayed April fools joke too.

The actual problem (E grades are rubbish) was solved by the Americans years ago: a sport grade with a separate danger rating
