About the ranking

The 8a.nu ranking game has been in use since the early 2000s and works with two simple assumptions: The grading scale is linear, and on-sighting a certain grade is about as hard as redpointing 3 grades harder. An 8a redpoint gets you 1000 points. For every (+) grade, the score changes by 50 points. The other modifiers are onsight (+147) flash (+53), toprope (-50), second go (+2), Trad (+33) and FA (+33). Keep in mind that it’s a game :)
