Wendy, I don't think everyone should be measuring themselves against your physical abilities. There are a lot of people out there capable of being comfortable at climbing grade 25 on rock in a short space of time particularly in sport climbing situations. There are stacks of people blessed with better genetics and natural ability than you!
>Maybe if you bouldered more...! Anyone who wants to climb The Ogive should be bouldering V7 according to the extremely outdated and highly dubious 'boulder to route grade conversion' !
As dubious as the boulder to route grade conversion might be, that table implies that climbing grade 28 (The Ogive) could be compared in difficulty to bouldering V6 to V8. I think if Wendy spent anywhere near as much time bouldering as she did climbing routes and if she spent as much time and effort trying to find a V6 that suited her as she did a grade 28 (which she is yet to climb) then I'm guessing she would probably be in luck.
Maybe the conversion chart isn't so out of whack.
