Exactly although with regards liz truss’s economic policy  I might be a little more like fultonius….. incredulous at the idea anyone could truly believe that it might be a good idea…

They’re both five minutes from his house.

Is his house bifurcated by a rupture in the fabric of space?  :-\

I love grades it’s like politics there’s no right or wrong just different opinions.

In which case perhaps E4 for WSS is something akin to Liz Truss's economic policy - not right or wrong, just...a different opinion.

JB seems to be pretty much the sole advocate for E4 making any sense with the tech grade of 7a....does anyone else agree with him?


He’s not actually doing that…. He was explaining why historically it got that, and the reasons behind that…. Maybe you’ll just have to let it go! I’m sure there will be other E4’s out there you can’t do…. It doesnt mean they aren’t E4…. Although they might not be..🤣I love grades it’s like politics there’s no right or wrong just different opinions.

How would the following "hypothetical" routes ge graded:

Font6B into existing top of WSS
Font6C into existing top of WSS
Font7A into existing top of WSS
Font7B into existing top of WSS

?

I have tended to seek out uncoventional routes though

You probably are in a relatively small Venn overlap of specialties there, ankle-breaker grit soloing and seaside death choss.

Someone should have stuck that in a guide or something. I think I would have found it useful to know back when I climbed on grit quite a lot... Now you say it it does make some sense, but if you started climbing somewhere without many micro routes it's not obvious. I'm also not entirely sure that's how it's used round the country? I don't recall micro routes in Avon feeling like they used that system, but maybe I'm misremembering.

I think you're projecting or imagining when it comes to people throwing a fit about these grades. I recall people just treating them like a joke, because that's how they seem if you're used to normal grading :shrug:
