What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

For trad it looks like it's 5.1-5.4. Possibly a 5.5-5.6 depending on how steep it actually is when beneath it, and how large the mortise gaps are. But if you look at the tower in the foreground, you can see that they were considerate enough to put handholds every 5 or so vertical feet.
