The Grade debate continues..

Here are some examples to clarify my point either side of the new divide:

Boulder Problem.	Location.	Grade.

Midnight Lightening.	Yosemite, USA	V8+ - Font. 7b+
Carnage.	Bas Cuvier, France	V8+ - Font. 7b+
West Side Story.	Burbage, Peak District	V8+ - Font. 7b+
The Keel.	Almscliffe, Yorkshire	V8+ - Font. 7b+
Sonic Boom.	Angel Bay, North Wales	V8+ - Font. 7b+
The Barrel.	Llanberis Pass, North Wales	V8+ - Font. 7b+
The Yorkshireman.	Kyloe In The Woods, Northumberland	V8+ - Font. 7b+
Chollos.	Happy Boulders, USA	V9 - Font. 7c
Centre Direct.	Buttermilks, USA	V9 - Font. 7c
L'abbe Resina.	Bas Cuvier, France	V9 - Font. 7c
Jerry's Traverse.	Stanage, Peak District	V9 - Font. 7c
Jess Roof.	Almscliffe, Yorkshire	V9 - Font. 7c
Jerry's Roof.	Llanberis Pass, North Wales	V9 - Font. 7c
Hitchhikers(sitting start).	Kyloe In The Woods, Northumberland	V9 - Font. 7c

Here's the suggested grade comparison table showing how the possible new V8+ grade slots in against the Font. grading system:

V Grade.	Fontainbleau Grade.

V0+	4+
V1	5
V2	5+
V3	6a/6a+
V4	6b/6b+
V5	6c/6c+
V6	7a
V7	7a+
V8	7b
V8+	7b+
V9	7c
V10	7c+
V11	8a
V12	8a+
V13	8b
V14	8b+
V15	8c

Simon Panton would like any views and thoughts on this subject to be forwarded to CragX, in the hope that we can reach some kind of a consensus on grading in the UK. Or why not enter in to the open forum discussion click here.
