Post Description

Outside of programming, my main hobby is rock climbing. Because the grading systems used to communicate difficulty vary depending on climbing discipline and country, I often find myself needing to convert grades when reading climbing content online. Several tools for this already exist, but I wasn't entirely happy with any of them so I decided to build my own.

I focused on making my converter as fast, clean, and easy to use as possible. It's a simple one-page utility hosted on my blog that currently supports V-Scale, Font, YDS, and French. The blog is built with astro and the converter itself is built with vue.

Feedback welcome, especially from fellow climbers.
