« Last post by ToxicBilberry on Yesterday at 09:04:06 am »This thread links to some reading I’ve been doing about inductive and deductive reasoning. French sport climbing grades lend themselves to a predominantly inductive process as opposed to the British traditional grading system which, as Andy alluded to, tell you something more about the climb when taken in context. To try and deconstruct then reduce the grading system to a purely utilitarian ‘can I climb X’ is in keeping with the spirit of the age, but a sorry state of affairs.
