hi,
could you help me out here. I am trying to come up with a trad grade for a single pitch route in the alps.
The route is 30m long, contiously very steep and enduring. with some active resting positions.
after 5 steep meters of climbing, is the crux, with the hardest move around french route 7a or 7b.
the whole route beeing french 7c+.
it has a lot of good placements and is easy to protect with gear. the crux section is a bit run out for about 5 meter.
the route is very exposed and steep. it starts kind of after an aproach pitch, which makes it a bit scary but also save, because you cannot hit the ground or a ledge.
I would say the britsh technical grade is around 6a/6b. i just dont know how an endurance climb converts in the E-grade?
thanks for your help!
