I'll save that quality name for the next 3 star beauty I dig out. Of course I could use it for the following top class link up:

Did I mention how good the conditions were on Friday? Mintier than a whole pack of polos!

Back to the debate...

1. I don't care as long as we drop the B grades (cos it stands for B******s)

2. Grit should be Font grades

3. Limestone should be Hueco grades

4. Forget traverse grades give them a route grade

5. Dynos are not gradeable

:bow: - I also think speed limits for straight roads should be in miles per hour, but speed limits for bendy roads should be in kilometres per hour.  Those km/h units really capture the undefinable kinaesthetics of bends that much better......

Come on Andy, its not as if the bottom of a problem is grit and the top limestone, unlike a road where the bends and straights are linked. ;D

Oh Dear, too many beers to give a reasoned response  or to read the full thread...V8+ is a lot of nonsense.  Really. duh, such nonsense. It's V8 or V9 ffs - stop appeasing weaklings!

Exactly sweetheart, exactly.

Which is precisely the reason the all neu H-grade will incorporate V10+, V12+, and yep - you people must be drowning under the tonnage of early worms - V14+.  That's not minus V14+ (that'd be plain crazeeeeee....)

Jawohl!
