Bouldering grades

Boulders are graded directly in V-grades. A Singapore climber's blog (updated July 2025) calls it the only gym they had visited in Singapore that uses the V-scale.

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

V-scale	Font
VB	3
V0	4B–4B+
V1	5A–5B
V2	5B–5C
V3	5C+–6A+
V4	6A+–6B+
V5	6C–6C+
V6	6C+–7A
V7	7A+–7B
V8	7B–7B+
V9	7C
V10	7C+
V11	8A
V12	8A+

Look up any grade in V-scale

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.
