In reply to UKC News:
Sports grade or, French grades as we used to call them should obviously be removed, along with all those Bolts (especially those Petzl ones) and trad grades reinstated.
That way we will enter a glorious new era of new first ascents of those established sport routes at the great crags, Malham, Kilnsey and those down in the Peaks!
