New Arapiles Select Guide 28-Mar-2006 At 2:45:15 PM oweng

The main thing I like about the "v" grade system for bouldering is that it allows me to identify problems that are worth me trying.

The I to V system in the Araplies Select Guide is a good system if you have a lot of time to spend, and can afford the time it takes to walk to an area, and try a problem enough to realise its too hard, before going somewhere else to find something else.

The V system with its finer bandings of difficulty I think is more suited to a select guide, which I think would be bought by many people with a limited amount of time to spend at the crag, who just want to get some quick ticks.

An I to V system I think is better suited to a dedicated bouldering guide.
