Rock Climbing Grades - what are rock climbing grades and how to climb 3 grades harder
Rock Climbing Grades - what are rock climbing grades and how to climb 3 grades harder
In rock climbing the term grade is used to describe the overall difficulty and danger of the climb. Rock climbers generally aspire to be able to climber harder grades as that is an accurate measure of their skills as a rock climber.
The factors that contribute to the difficulty of a climb and thus its grade are:
- The technical difficulty of the moves
- The strength required
- The stamina or endurance required
- The level of commitment, and the difficulty of protecting the climber.
So improving as a rock climber and being able to climb at higher or harder grades is an indication not only of that persons skill as a rock climber but their overall physical shape and conditioning as well.
To help confuse you the different types of rocking climbing have different types of grading systems.
For Free Climbing there is:
- The Yosemite Decimal System invented by the Sierra club
- The YDS class (class 1-6)
- The YDS grade (grade 1-7)
- The YDS protection rating
- The British Grading system (used for traditional climbs)
- The Adjectival Grading system (easy,moderate, etc)
- The Technical Grade
- UIAA
- French Numeral Grades (1a,1b,1c,2a,2b, etc)
- Brazillian Grading system
- The Ewbank system
Then you have a seperate grading system for mountaineering which is another form of rock climbing
- IFAS (International French Adjectival System)
- Romanian
- New Zealand
- Alaskan
Then there is a grading system for Ice Climbing, a grading system for bouldering, a grade system for aid climbing!
WOW. If it was up to me there would be one grading system easy, medium, hard, very hard, and 'make your will out to me'
So once you decide on the type of rock climbing you want to pursue get familiar with their grading system so you can relate to how hard a climb you have ahead of you.
