There is at least one proposal for path/trail difficulty in the wiki [1] and at 
least one that appears accepted and in use [2]. Of course neither of those is 
an exact match for the Yosemite Decimal System[3] based on a 1930s Sierra Club 
rating system more familiar, at least to me, in the US. Though the YDS is 
mentioned under climbing [4] and [5].
