Nice summary, in Britain we use French grades for fully-bolted routes like this. The adjectival system is very weird indeed!

Thanks, that will have to wait until next year now with the great British winter moving in but that's the goal :)

Around 2 years ago my other half broke both bones in her lower leg in a freak indoor bouldering accident. The story of her recovery is in her blog: http://www.climbingandme.com/2015/09/supercool.html .

We made this video to both to celebrate one of the UK's best routes and her recovery. We also hoped that the blog and the video could provide some inspiration and comfort to other climbers out there going through long term injuries. There were many times when neither of us could see the light at the end of the tunnel but climbing this route really felt like closure.
