> (In reply to Offwidth) On the subject of Nottingham as it may be the hardest graded regular comp in the country (in the open the UK grades given are usually sustained and often "traditional"). Who's is the easiest graded?
I've always found Nottingham grades to be fairly hard on the bouldering side (not so much on the lead/toproping walls). I think this is a good thing, it's a training facility and it's good that things seem easier out side, rather than the other way round. It seems more sensible for people to be able to think they'll struggle on a 4c than expecting to be able to onsight a 5b (E1 or whatever!).
Apparently they'd been getting some complaints and some of the climbs are easier this month :-0
