Bouldering grades

Block'Out uses its own numbered scale, B1 (easiest) to B14, instead of grading by hold colour. Block'Out does not publish Font equivalents. Third-party sources agree that, above about 5C, each B step is roughly one Font step, but they differ on where the scale starts. The levels below follow Kaskad Coaching's table (2026); each level's note gives an older forum mapping (2016).
