That sucks. I'm interested to read your new rating article, as I think it's a really interesting topic. We should be secure enough that we can discuss these things civily, as it's just f*(#ing climbing for God's sake. Some people must take themselves too seriously. Try not to remove *too many* articles.
A friend told me that euro ice grades are way inflated compared to Canada. I led my first WI5 a couple weeks ago here, and am desperately afraid I'll be told it's WI3+ by a visiting friend from North America .
All the best,
