boulderbar St. Pölten grades, explained
boulderbar St. Pölten opened on 3 August 2024 in a hall of the former Glanzstoff factory, about 15 minutes' walk from St. Pölten station. It has about 1,000 m² of floor space and climbing surface, walls up to 4.5 m, a 16×12 Kilter Board (the first of that size in Austria), a kids' bouldering area with a slide and cave, a training area and a bar. Some boulders have extra holds for children and shorter climbers.
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:
| Font | V-scale |
|---|---|
| 4 | V0−–V0+ |
| 5 | V1–V3 |
| 6A | V3–V4 |
| 6B | V4 |
| 6C | V5–V6 |
| 7A | V6–V7 |
| 7B | V7–V8 |
| 7C | V9–V10 |
| 8A | V11–V12 |

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.
