How do you compare between different rock climbing grades?
Different countries and rock climbing disiplines have different grading systems, for example the the British trad grade system (e.g. grade HVS 5(a)) and the US point grading system (e.g. 5.9)
If I climb HVS 5(a) in the UK, how do I know what this grade equates to in other countries?

Rockfax have a handy conversion chart this is the generally accepted version though it is (like all climbing grades) subjective.
Below are the conversion charts:
"Bold" trad routes
"Safe" Trad Routes
Bouldering
