My mum moved to portugal a few years ago and I’ve had a few non-climbing recon trips to the crags in her area and tomorrow me and my partner are flying out with gear for a week on the rock.
I just purchased the guidebook and I’m a little confused but the grading. I’ve only climbed on U.K. and USA so have only experience U.K. trad and sport and the usa 5 scale.
firstly some of the climbs are graded ‘ VI , lll, V, Vl+ and then 6a and up.
Secondly there doesn’t seem to be any way to distinguish the routes from trad or bolted. We intend to do both and this doesn’t really matter however it can help locate climbs when you’re staring at a wall.
Would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
