Boulder Movement Downtown grades, explained

Boulder Movement's first gym, in the basement of Downtown Gallery (6A Shenton Way), reachable from Downtown, Telok Ayer or Tanjong Pagar MRT. Its walls are lower than at the other BM gyms, with many easy problems, plus a fitness area and a retail area. BM has announced that it will close after 15 November 2026.

Bouldering grades

Problems are marked with star-shaped circuit tags, not single grades. Each tag colour covers two V-grades, and neighbouring circuits overlap by one grade, per the gym's own 'Grading System' chart on its routesetting page. The gym says climbers should try boulders from at least two circuits because of the overlap.
