We use 8a.nu for our colours system.

Yeah. But since we use a minimum number of points, what that value is does not really make much difference, as long as everyone involved uses the same number of points for a grade. shrug

haha it no worries, just that we have a wierd grading system for trad and it doesn't fit into the 8a way of doing things, which Jens takes as an excuse to say British climbers are crap. Its a good system for sport climbers though.

Yeah. Would not bother if I was doing much trad.

But for what we need it for it is fine.

Same here, have not been on the rocks since October. The ground is either too wet for good grip, it's snowing or I'm working.

Verdon trip was awesome, a week of climbing in a tshirt. smile

We made an attempt on La Demande but failed unfortunately - my partner took a nasty fall on the second pitch, ripping a cam and falling around 15ft to hit the ledge I was belaying from. He went a bit green after that and had to go back down, I'll be back though, awesome route.

Feels COLD back in England now haha!
