Sputnik Climbing Guindalera grades, explained
Sputnik Guindalera, on Calle del Marqués de Monteagudo in the Salamanca district, opened on 11 June 2026, near Avenida de América, Cartagena and Diego de León metro stations. The ground floor has 28 auto belays on 85 routes up to 12 m (IV to 8b), about half of which can also be climbed on a rope. Bouldering is on the upper floors, with a 4.5 × 4.5 m Quantum Board and a campus board on the top floor.
Bouldering grades
Difficulty is shown by coloured tags on the start holds, not by the hold colour. Sputnik's magazine lists the tag order as white, green, yellow, blue, purple, red and black. The grade range for each colour comes from two third-party guides, iwannaclimb and Planomato, which agree. We read their grades as Font.
| Level | Font | ≈ V-scale |
|---|---|---|
| White (blanco) | 4–5 | V0−–V3 |
| Green (verde) | 5–6A | V1–V3 |
| Yellow (amarillo) | 6A–6B | V3–V4 |
| Blue (azul) | 6B–6C | V4–V5 |
| Purple (morado) | 6C–7A | V5–V6 |
| Red (rojo) | 7A–7B | V6–V8 |
| Black (negro) | 7B–8A | V7–V11 |
Rope climbing grades
Routes are graded on the French scale: V, V+, 6a, 6a+, 6b and up. Sputnik writes grade 5 as the Roman numeral V.
The gym grades in French directly. Here is the range gyms usually set, in YDS:
| French | YDS |
|---|---|
| 4 | 5.6–5.8 |
| 5 | 5.8–5.10a |
| 6a | 5.10a–5.10b |
| 6b | 5.10c–5.11a |
| 6c | 5.11a–c |
| 7a | 5.11c–5.12a |
| 7b | 5.12b–5.12c |
| 7c | 5.12d–5.13a |
| 8a | 5.13b–5.13c |
| 8b | 5.13d–5.14a |
