Coming from our frustrations of always trying to figure out what grading systems are used in which country and what do they mean in your own system, we have created this simple but hopefully helpfull comparison table. Please remember that grading a route is very subjective to the location and the person giving the grade. Please keep in mind that this table is only to be used as a guideline
