1. When you guys stick up a boulder problem or route how do you rate it? We label everything with white tape with the setters name, date set, route name, and grade.
Once i set a route or problem i stick a small piece of tape under the label with a "Suggested Rating". After a day or so i go back after getting feed back from the members or a "Rate a Route" dry erase board that we have. It seems to work really well and has worked really well for 8 or 9 years now. My problem now is, as i keep getting stronger as a climber and setter im having a hard time really knowing what cretin grades fell like anymore. I'm at the point were i can usually flash a 5.12 or v5. I fell like i have a hard time really knowing what 5.10d through 5.11d (Just an example) feels like or a v3 through v5. Im not sure if that makes since to you guys but im having a hard time rating stuff lately.
2. What do you do as far as labeling and rating goes?
3. Does this or has this happened to you guys?
4. Whats up with all the damn spam!
Thanks and Cheers, Ryan!
