Onsight sport whatever rarely counts for much on grit or font bouldering though. It's all about time on that rock. But I do remember one sport crag exception from BITD - Lehn at Interlaken. Like Fontainbleau gone crag sized. On-sight 7a there, excepting the crimpy routes, was a tough exercise in full body movement on slopers. You could go from a week there back to Fontainbleau and you would be on it from day one.
Just look at how much Font grade 6 covers
Well yeah, but as long as you have benchmark problems at each grade then you are good to go.
So for starters, 6a = Mary Rose, Bas Cuvier
By what you’re saying, a V0 could be either a beginner route or something a seasoned climber would struggle on. Imagine travelling an hour to find it’s all way beyond you capability!
Well yes, quite agree.
Surely that just means the UK fixed a system that was unfit for purpose?
Not really. They created the Peak B grade or whatever it was which just confused matters more for a few years and then disappeared.
