Squamish beta

Has anyone climbing in the UK & can they give any info on how the grading compares other than this: http://www.rockfax.com/publications/grades.html

Those Rockfax comparisons are the gold standard in my opinion. But if you haven't done much granite crack climbing be aware that nothing you can do in the UK will you prepare you very well. Gritstone cracks, for example, just aren't comparably sustained. On the other hand, if you have done a reasonable amount of boldish UK climbing it's unlikely that you'll be fazed by protection issues on many Squamish trad routes.

thank you everyone for the info. Just one more question: what routes are a must do up to say 5.12a trad & 13a sport? Please note that I am expecting to recieve a schooling...
