[quote="JR"]I have heard that a well rounded climber will have a full grade between your best onsight versus highest redpoint. [quote]
i think i'm missing something. i always felt that a "well rounded climber" would climb sport, trad, and boulder equally well.
i'm not sure how you can define the "well rounded climber" by whether or not there is a full letter grade between her onsights/redpoints. this idea seems to suppose that all grades are equal - nothing is soft and nothing is sandbagged.
it seems to me that if someone is "well rounded" their onsights/redpoints would be closer together. that would indicate that their skillz at reading the rock are as good as their ability to work the route.
not that i'm a well-rounded climber by any defination
