Climbing gym · Melbourne, Australia
BlocHaus Port Melbourne grades, explained
BlocHaus's only Melbourne gym, on Plummer Street in Port Melbourne. It has about 850 m² of Blocz climbing surface, an LED MoonBoard, a 40° Woodie, campus and peg boards and an 8 m padded slackline, plus FamilyHaus, a kids' climbing area with a toddler wall; the main area is 12+. Two sectors are reset every Tuesday and Thursday, so the whole gym is new every six weeks.
Bouldering grades
Boulders are graded by hold colour, from blue (easiest) through red, purple, black and yellow to white (hardest), and neighbouring colours overlap on BlocHaus's chart. BlocHaus doesn't publish V-grades, so the ranges below are our estimate: we spread the six colours over the range bouldering gyms usually set (VB to about V10), keeping the order and overlaps on BlocHaus's colour chart and its competition divisions, which pair blue and red, purple and black, and yellow and white.
| Level | V-scale | ≈ Font |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | VB–V1 | 3–5B |
| Red | V0–V3 | 4B–6A+ |
| Purple | V2–V4 | 5B–6B+ |
| Black | V3–V5 | 5C+–6C+ |
| Yellow | V5–V8 | 6C–7B+ |
| White | ≥ V7 | ≥ 7A+ |
BlocHaus grades the same way at all 5 of its gyms. All BlocHaus gyms and grades
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.
