5.9 in the gym and 5.9 outdoors are wildly different levels of difficulty. Depending on location an outdoor 5.9 could be the equivalent of anything from a 5.11a to a 5.12 and in addition you’re on lead which adds another significant level of difficulty.

I climb the same in the gym on lead as outside. I think this is being exaggerated in this thread or its something specific to bay area or something.

Sport vs trad grades outdoors are very different animals.
