PUMP2 Kawasaki grades, explained
PUMP2 川崎店
PUMP2 opened in 1995 in Nakanoshima, Tama-ku, Kawasaki, and was renovated in 2006. It combines a large route area for top-rope and lead with bouldering walls on the 3rd floor, and is a 7–10 minute walk from Nakanoshima Station on the JR Nambu Line; there is paid parking next to the gym. It closes on Mondays.
Bouldering grades
Problems use the Japanese kyu/dan scale, written by the gym as 8Q (8級, easiest) to 1Q (1級), then 1D–3D (初段–三段). The gym does not publish a conversion; standard grades below use the kyu/Font/V comparison table on Japanese Wikipedia, which cites climber Dai Koyamada (2009).

PUMP's gyms appear to share this grading, though PUMP doesn't say so outright. All PUMP gyms and grades
