Simey, grades are very usefull for those who climb "easy" grades. Most beneficaly, grades avoid going to a boulder or a bouldering area and finding that there's absolutely nothing except the descent route that you can do...Astethecis are not interesting if you don't have a hope in hell of getting up..and for us, the wankers will be at the hardrer boulders, so won't be annoying us..

(But a color system is probbaly good enough for this...)

Still, as previoulsy said, bouldering at araps is like w... in a whore house [and as far as I know, there's no grading system for porn or sex??]
