Depot Climbing Sheffield grades, explained
Depot Sheffield is on Woodbourn Road, Sheffield, and opened in April 2019. It has over 1,400 m² of climbing surface, 9 colour circuits graded V0 to V11+ reset weekly, two circuit boards (French 6a–8a), a 40° MoonBoard, two digital training boards, campus boards, a café with pizza ovens and free parking.
Bouldering grades
Problems are grouped into 10 colour circuits spanning V0 to V11+, and each wall has a display explaining the colours. Depot's website gives V-ranges only for groups of colours, not for each colour. So the ranges below are the group ranges the gym states, and the top circuits are not documented.
