  I: A short climb close to the highway with bomb-proof belays and an easy descent. No commitment.

   Enigzins geoefenden

  II: A 1 or 2 pitch climb within easy reach of a vehicle, little objective danger and easy descent by rappel or downclimbing.

   Gevorderden

   III: A multi-pitch route at low elevation which may take several hour, or a route with a long approach on foot or ski demanding good winter travel skills, or a route subject to occasional winter hazards. Descent usually by rappeling.

   Gevorderde tot extreem

  IV: A multi-pitch route at higher elevations or in remote regions requiring mountaineering and winter travel skills. May be subject to objective hazard such as avalanches or rockfall. Descent may present difficulties and usually involved rappeling from bolts or conduit. V A long climb on a high mountain face requiring a high level of competence and commitment. Subject to hazards of bad weather and avalanche. May have long approach or difficult descent.

  Extreem

  VI :A long, multi-pitch route on a high alpine face which only the best climbers will complete on one day. May include the logistical problems of winter alpine climbing; avalanche danger, falling seracs, high elevation and remoteness. A serious undertaking for good climbers in top shape.
  
  VII: No grade
  
  VII has yet been climbed in the Canadian Rockies. However, this author thinks it may be possibility and would refer to a climb with all the caracteristics of the grade VI, but long enough and technically difficult to be a grade harder.

  • The grading system used in this edition (Water Fall Ice, 1988) isdifferent from the one used in the old guide. A two-part system hasbeen adopted which give an seriousness grading indicating the overallseriousness of the cl imb and a technical grading for the single mostdifficult pitch.  The seriousness grade (I - VI) takes into accountthe length, continuity, seriousness, commitment, remoteness, hazardand difficulty of descent. The seriousness grade is not, however,entirely unaffected by the technical grade, since a climb of sustainedtechnical difficulties is a more serious undertaking than one withlittle technical difficulty. For example, although Weeping Pillarcould be expected to be graded seriousness IV, such a grade wouldmisrepresent a climb with so much technical grade 6 climbing.
  • The UIAA or Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme, (English: International Climbing and Mountaineering Organisation).
  • The UIAA grading system is mostly used for short rock routes in Western Germany, Austria and Switzerland. On long routes it is often used in the Alps and Himalaya. Using Roman numerals, it was originally intended to run from I (easiest) to X (hardest), but as with all other grading systems, improvements to climbing standards have led to the system being open-ended. An optional + or − may be used to further differentiate difficulty. As of 2004, the hardest climbs are XII−.
