M9, you mistake me for someone that climbs hard. But starting in Qld, there's very little easier than 11 or 12 at the popular crags, I've only really come across those grades in Vic.
The poms seem to like retaining sandbags in the easier grades. But also, no-one wanted to be the guy who proposes a new grade and then has it downgraded, so they just left it the same (leading to a wide range of difficulties per grade). |
