Bouldering grades

9 Degrees has nine difficulty levels, each a colour, and its website names eight of them. In order they run green, blue, teal, pink, red, black, purple and white, taken from its classes page and its Winter Boulder Series chart. No V-grades are published per colour, so these ranges are our estimate, spread over the V0–V12+ range the gym advertises.

Estimated by Gear Loop. The gym publishes only the order of its colours, so these ranges are our best guess from its chart and climbers' descriptions. Gyms reset and regrade often, and grades vary between setters, so treat this as a guide and check the boards when you visit.
