4 types of grading

4 different ways to grade   22/04/09
 

Grading is something the climbing community has invented and there is no such thing as a universal theory or a guide book on how to grade. It is amazing that somehow it works almost perfectly around the globe, in spite of, or because, the climbers do it in four different ways.
1. Grading by the topo
2. Grading based on a personal feeling
3. Grading based on how the community feels
4. Time Comparison Grading: Facts
How do you grade? What is right or wrong?
