How does one grade a top-rope rehearsed grit route eg. E8+, for an ONSIGHT?? Surely the grade is still given for the easiest sequence, not much point in grading something by the hardest possible sequence you can envisage.
Oh yeah and I would have to agree with Kent that sport climbing is easy, and that Have a GOOD flight is more like tough 21 (a bit harder than Tannin), and Orestes would be about 27 or so on the Kudos (K) scale. Viva la (grading) revolucion.
