Surely your assertion that grading boldness is more subjective than grading difficulty is in itself subjective. Personally I don't get on with the Ewbank system at all. I find numerous dicrepencies wherever I climb, even between individually graded pitches on multi pitch routes. That might be because of it's misuse or because it doesn't work or because I just don't get it. I wouldn't know but it is still largely alien to me. If you had lived your climbing life in the UK you would most probably be using the system they use there, you would understand it's strengths and it's weaknesses and you might even be defending it patriotically. I'm done, surf's up. Get off E grades and back to Mr Trotter.
