        That conversion is misleading.

        The grades are SA grades – not Ewbank Australian grades. The hardest routes in the world are still 34ish in Australian grades.

          I’d probably go for Dai Koyamada’s route, V16 I think it was. Something like 78 metres of cave roof bouldering.

            The grade conversion is off. 9a is around 35.

            34 – 8c+

            35 – 9a

            36 – 9a+

            37 – 9b
