About this tool
Pick a French grade and a target scale. The tool looks it up in a conversion table for common sport grades and shows the matching grade. Conversions are approximate: grading is subjective and different areas grade the same difficulty differently.
Frequently asked questions
Are conversions exact?
No. Grades are opinions, and two areas can grade the same difficulty differently.
Which grades are covered?
