Minimum Leutschenbach grades, explained
MINIMUM Leutsch
Minimum Leutsch is on Leutschenbachstrasse in the north of Zurich and opened at the end of 2022. It has about 1,000 m² of floor space and around 200 boulders on high walls of every angle. There is a Kilter Board, a training room with hangboards and weights, and a café-bistro. Take tram 10, 11 or 12 to Oerlikerhus, or bus 781 or 787 to Leutschenbach.
Bouldering grades
Boulders are sorted into colour categories, from yellow (easiest) through green, orange, blue, red and white to black. Minimum publishes a Fontainebleau range for each colour on its course-colours and route-setting pages, and the ranges below are copied from there. The site writes them in lower case, e.g. 6a+.
| Level | Font | ≈ V-scale |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow (gelb) | 1A–4C | VB−–V0+ |
| Green (grün) | 5–6A | V1–V3 |
| Orange | 6A+–6B+ | V3–V4 |
| Blue (blau) | 6C–7A | V5–V6 |
| Red (rot) | 7A+–7B+ | V7–V8 |
| White (weiss) | 7C–8A | V9–V11 |
| Black (schwarz)Minimum says black runs up to 'almost impossible' | ≥ 8A+ | ≥ V12 |
