Bouldering grades
Boulders are set in colour circuits marked by hold colour: Yellow is the easiest and White (or Mint, at some gyms) the hardest. Each colour covers roughly three V-grades and neighbouring colours overlap on purpose, so circuits are not a strict ladder. The ranges are read off Bouldering Project's grade chart; only Purple is also given in its text.
| Level | V-scale | ≈ Font |
|---|---|---|
| YellowAt the V0 end of the chart; may also include easier (VB) climbs. | V0 | 4B–4B+ |
| Red | V0–V2 | 4B–5C |
| Green | V1–V3 | 5A–6A+ |
| PurpleBouldering Project's text also gives Purple as V2–V4. | V2–V4 | 5B–6B+ |
| Orange | V3–V5 | 5C+–6C+ |
| Black | V4–V6 | 6A+–7A |
| Blue | V5–V7 | 6C–7B |
| Pink | V6–V8 | 6C+–7B+ |
| White | V8–V10 | 7B–7C+ |
