Except that ice grades really do not translate to rock grades all that well. its just so different. I suppose it would be more like the difference between 5.8 R and 5.9+R Even when you have good gear on ice the concequences of a fall with crampons are generaly bad with open tib fib fractures fairly common. Many ice falls end up inverted when the crampons catch. Most lead ice climbers simply do not fall. I have 2 leader falls on ice in 30+ years of climbing. I probobly have maybe 50? lead falls on rock in that same time frame.. Top ropeing grade 5 ice is easy. leading it is a whole different ball game...

No pics, but I climbed out of a cemented culvert ("Adobe Creek") in Palo Alto. About 11 feet of vertical smooth concrete, capped with a 6 foot cyclone fence. Took a running start, bounced off the wall and stuck a one hand slap over the top of the concrete, then it was home free. Actions performed in service of getting racquet balls that fell in while playing with the kids in an adjacent park.

Sehome Hill in Bellingham, short vertical, touch of mud, marginal view to the BC Coast Range; the ascent was moderate in every sense.
