Bouldering grades
Balance grades problems on its own Level 0-8 scale and stresses it is not a direct translation of the V-scale. The V ranges below are an estimate made by spreading the nine levels evenly over a typical gym range (about VB to V10); the gym publishes only the level order. Its coaching splits beginners (Level 0-4) from advanced climbers (Level 5+).
| Level | V-scale | ≈ Font |
|---|---|---|
| Level 0 | VB–V0 | 3–4B+ |
| Level 1 | V0–V1 | 4B–5B |
| Level 2 | V1–V2 | 5A–5C |
| Level 3 | V2–V3 | 5B–6A+ |
| Level 4 | V3–V4 | 5C+–6B+ |
| Level 5 | V4–V5 | 6A+–6C+ |
| Level 6 | V5–V6 | 6C–7A |
| Level 7 | V6–V8 | 6C+–7B+ |
| Level 8Open-ended top level | ≥ V8 | ≥ 7B |
