If you climb... 5.8 and lower = BEGINNER 5.9-5.11b = INTERMEDIATE 5.11c-5.13b = ADVANCED 5.13c on up = EXPERT I think the nickname of the person who came up with this nonsense is a good indicator that he doesnt have a clue what he is talking about. I'm pretty sure Fred Beckey would fall into his beginner category at this stage of his life. Fred has probably logged more climbing time than any other American climber...ever. He just happens to be in his late 80's now...I think.
Many people in this thread are referring to the level of a person's climbing knowledge, which is not at all what I am referring to. I explicitly indicated that am referring to categories for how hard one climbs, their climbing performance level.
There is a difference between one's applicative climbing knowledge and how hard one climbs--the difference between what you and I are referring to.
