Adventure Grading Guide
At The Adventure Project we understand that you know your own capabilities and limits. That's why we try to provide you with as much information as possible so you can determine which adventure suits you best. Our adventure grading guide applies to the overall trip so some days may be a little easier or harder than the overall grade stated.
