I have a thought to add to the grading system. Its been added before on many occasions, but thought it deserved a mention here.
Sure - the "hardest move" grading system doesnt take into account the other features of a climb such as pro or exposure (not that exposure should come into it, it might add stars though), but consider that it doesnt take many 22 moves in a row to make a fairly serious 24. If all the moves are 24, the route is not 24. Its probably 28 or something higher even.
