Posting Gravity Conditions on MP

Now that it has been established that gravity is variable (see link below) perhaps MP could include the gravitational force conditions for the day at particular crags. I'd like to know if it is going to be a high or low gravity day. If it is a low gravity day I can attempt a hard project and if it is a high gravity day I can use that for an excuse if I don't send the route.

Seems like they spent a lot of time and money to determine something that any experienced climber could have told them!

I don't think of it in terms of one day to the next, more like gravity starts doubling every year after you hit 50.

Every climb on a low gravity day should receive an A1 rating. That, or let's just asterisk it. Gravity, or lack thereof is aid!
Sending new routes on high gravity days should bump you to "super onsight"!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
