    Climbs are rated based on length and steepness Hors categorie (outside category) being the toughest, then 1 through 4, four being the easiest.

    ETA - I just found this:
    4th Category - the lowest category, climbs of 200-500 feet(70-150m).

    3rd Category - climbs of 500-1600 feet(150-500m).

    2nd Category - climbs of 1600-2700 ft.(500-800m)

    1st Category - climbs of 2700-5000ft(800-1500m)

    Hors Category - the hardest, climbs of 5000ft+(1500m+)
