Climbing...

I am in remembrance of all my time spent climbing tree's, walls, rocks, and anything else i could hold myself onto. I wish that i hadn't grown so unfit, alas, that's what will make getting back into climbing so productive and satisfying.

Now that i'm climbing in the States, I have to transfer my old climbing grades so I can know how fit/unfit I am... After much research, I made a collaboration of International Climbing grades +  a bouldering scale. As their is no exact way to match a bouldering scale to a climbing scale, I used several opinions to average them out. Simple fact is, bouldering doesn't require the same endurance as leading a 90ft wall. But, nonetheless, something to work towards.
