boulderbar Salzburg grades, explained

boulderbar Salzburg opened in 2016 on Richard-Kürth-Straße in Salzburg. It has more than 1,800 m² of bouldering surface and a 300 m² panorama bar, a Moonboard on the second floor, a gallery training area overlooking the walls, and a kids' area with about 70 boulders for children from age 3.

Bouldering grades

Each boulder uses holds of a single colour. The start holds carry signs that show the grade on a Fontainebleau-based scale: 3, 4A, 4B, 4C, 5A … 8A+, 8B. Boulders marked '?' instead of a grade involve unusual movement that is hard to grade. The gym suggests beginners start on boulders marked 4.

The gym grades in Font directly. Here is the range gyms usually set, in V-scale:

From the gym's own grading guide. Gyms reset and regrade often, and grades vary between setters, so treat this as a guide and check the boards when you visit.
