In reply to AlanPD:
> There are many trad routes which people often choose to solo, possibly due to poor gear. And there are boulders which people choose to climb or work with a rope. I think the line between trad and boulder can be a little blurred and sometimes a matter of personal perspective, in the same way a grade is. Therefore would it not be a nice if we could get a consensus on the style instead of having it dictated.
Being able to record an ascent in different grade styles is something we plan to add but it is quite a major change and won't be easy.
As regards dictating style - well route types can be changed by moderators and this tends to be done by consensus. It is easy to communicate with them if there is a question. The only time moderators can't change route style is when they are tied to Rockfax guidebook routes which is a necessary step for the book-App-Logbook system to work. We do review these though when producing updated information.
