Are these too conservative?

I wonder whether we should make these a bit lower? At the mo I think they're basically right in terms of "'if there's an ascent at this grade then we definitely want to add it", but I don't think there's any harm in having adding stuff a grade down either 🤔

I guess with where they are we can realistically aim to keep Ch pretty definitive, but if we go lower I think it'll be very hard to be definitive, so maybe there's some value in that?

I think significance is hard to gauge really and having a set grade means you miss out some notable ascents.

I am somewhat against the idea of adding every good boulder around for the sake of it being good though.

Having said that bouldering should be 8C imo .
