I expect to have trouble with a short powerful route and expect long endurance routes to feel easier. There's a difference between what I think a route should be rated for the populous (in a guidebook) and how it felt to me, the objective vs subjective opinion. I am good at knowing why a route is hard or easy based on individual moves (body size, hand strength etc...) but I am very, very bad at objectifying how a route feels if you are more tired through a certain section.

For me the difficulty is trying to discern whether or not a climb fits me very well, or I've gotten stronger since other ascents of that grade. I find this especially difficult at the hardest grade I climb. Interesting read, along with the re-reading of the old grade article as well.
