Haha, I would consider myself a very intermediate climber and i’ll onsight 6a, hangdog my way up a 6b. If you can climb 7s without serious training and are considering giving it a go for your first sport session outside then fair play! If I was climbing outside for the first time and wasn’t confident in setting anchors and rappelling then I wouldn’t dream of attempting anything over 5b.
Also be wary of indoor vs outdoor grades. If you’re not used to route finding then it can suddenly feel a lot harder.
