The Yosemite Decimal System YDS is a three part system used for rating the difficulty of walks, hikes, and climbs. It is primarily used by Mountaineering mountaineers in the United States and Canada . The Class 5 portion of the Class scale is primarily a rock climbing grade climbing classification system. Originally the system was a single part classification system. In recent years, Grade and Protection categories were added to the system. The new categories do not apply to every climb and usage varies widely. While primarily considered a free climbing system, an aid climbing designation is sometimes appended. For example, The North America Wall on El Capitan would be classed VI, 5.8, A5 using this mixed system. ref cite book last Reid first Don coauthors Chris Falkenstein title Rock Climbs of Tuolomne Meadows edition 3rd publisher Chockstone Press year 1992 location Evergreen, Colorado, USA page 129 isbn 0 934641 47 1 ref YDS class The system was initially developed as the Sierra Club grading system in the 1930s to classify hikes and climbs in the Sierra Nevada U.S. Sierra Nevada . Previously, these were described relative to others. For example Z is harder than X but easier than Y. This primitive system was difficult to learn for those who did not yet have experience of X or Y. The club adapted a numerical system of classification that was easy to learn and which seemed practical in its application. Guidebooks often append some number of stars to the YDS rating, to indicate a climb s overall quality how fun or worthwhile the climb is . This star ranking is unrelated to the YDS system, and varies from guidebook to guidebook. The system now divides all hikes and climbs into five classes ref cite book last Roper first Steve title The Climber s Guide to the High Sierra pages 19 21 year 1976 publisher Sierra Club Sierra Club Books isbn 0 87156 147 6 ref The exact definition ...
