Climbing Park grades, explained
클라이밍파크
Climbing Park (클라이밍파크) is a Seoul bouldering chain with gyms in Sinnonhyeon, Jongno and Gangnam (by Gangnam Station). A membership is valid at every branch, and problems are graded by colour in nine steps from yellow (easiest) to white.
Bouldering grades
Problems are graded by colour in nine steps: yellow, pink, blue, red, purple, brown, grey, black, then white (hardest). The gym publishes no V-grades. The ranges below come from climbers' blogs: one gives V0–V1 for the four easiest colours, and others compare the colours with The Climb, whose colours a Korean guide maps to V-grades. The top two colours are extrapolated.

Climbing Park doesn't say so outright, but its gyms appear to share this grading. From climbers' descriptions and photos of the gym's grade boards. Gyms reset and regrade often, and grades vary between setters, so treat this as a guide and check the boards when you visit.
