It's very difficult to know what to do with climbing routes without truly 3-dimensional mapping - that said your suggestion sounds feasible. It's worth noting that in terms of climbing grades there are plenty of different systems worldwide to allow for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(climbing) Isn't it funny how in the last few months there's been lots of activity in terms of piste mapping - and now the weather has become nicer in the UK, the sport of climbing takes its turn...
