I remember seeing a conversion chart showing how the different systems lined up with each other (i.e. Yosemite with French). Does anyone have a copy of something like that? I have a friend that just got over from the U.K. and she is really confused about where she stands on the decimal system.

I have seen this conversion chart on display in the gym where I climb. I guess you could contact Rockfax and ask them.
