I kind of have my head around the two factor British grading system the E grade and the technical grade. What the fcuk is an "H" grade?

H is for "wHat a tosser".

Has he clipped that top piton correctly. It looks to me that the tab is pointing up and he has clipped it from the side rather than from below. In the fall the crab would twist the bit of the piton poking out and snap!

If I was climbing that route, (which I wouldn't anyway) I would have tried equalising the 2 pitons and use a locker.

btw i think the top piton snapped

H = Headpoint.

British grades assume an onsight attempt. For anything hard (E7/8 and up?), they're generally headpointed (trad term for redpoint), and then graded assuming somebody onsighting it. Some say that this is an issue with British grades, so will give a 'H' grade instead of an 'E' grade, and assuming somebody actually onsights a H graded route, then they can give it an E grade.

I disagree.
Sooner or later when the current or next generation tires of the same old, same old; they will aspire to a challenge that befits their skill/training/technique/equipment/attitude/etc...

Yeah, I agree. Why the fcuk is there several bouldering grade systems.
What is going on there?
Why can't they work out a simple system that (for example), is numerically based?
:-P

Yup - most British climbers just give an E grade to a climb they've headpointed. A small minority will give a H grade because of some ethical reasoning. Unfortunately it seems to confuse things.

Nice, despite the horrible sound track. The interview and climbing are worth watching. Good on Lee Cujes for making sport climbing watchable.

Probably a long shot but does anyone have a stash of downloaded climbing videos they might allow me to copy? I can't really look at these vimeo vids at work, they are huge downloads and I don't have an internet connection at home (I stare at a computer all day at work - don't want to do the same at home!)
Maybe PM me if you do?

Nice fine ajfclark. Nice video though I did find the editing of the actual ascent a little disjointed. I would have preferred a straight view of the ascent without all the cuts and close ups etc... Definitely made it look easy!

Its amazing how Yanks can do the gigantic wanker thing so much better than anyone else.

I mean, you get wankers everywhere, but seppo wankers just have this natural ease about them. Seems like they don't even have to try that hard.

That was just plain weird. There was not an ounce of useful information about soloing safely - just a demonstration in how to be a tool.
