I reckon ... . Grade for technical difficulty. . Description for protection, style etc. Actually the Ewbank system is supposed to take into account all the other factors such as exposure, protection etc. but is now more commonly used for purely technical difficulty ala the French system. Separate question: If someone who climbs 30 on steep sandstone does a slab at his or her limit, is it 30 ? My answer: Depends on how good they are at slabs, hence the constant revision of grades. The grade surely is representative of the proportion of the climbing community who can do it, not how hard an individual finds it.
