Var ute på ett forum och fattade inte vad sandbags betyder på klätterikiska??
"I've not travelled too long, but as far as I know grades in Spain are rather comparable to grades in other countries as France or Italy (by the way, the french created the rating system we use so I guess it is a good point).
The problem is that most of the people that visits Spain use to go to places like El Chorro, Sella, and many others in the Levante and Andalucia area which are known to have a little bit soft grades. If, instead of them, you visit places like Teverga, Cuenca, Ramales, most of the crags at Euskadi, etc. you will find more accurate grades. And if you visit places like Cahorros or Montanejos you will find notorious sandbags in terms of the french rating system."
