The Climb Magok grades, explained

더클라임 마곡점

The Climb Magok is on the 7th floor of Magok Science Tower in Gangseo-gu, 5 minutes from exit 9 of Balsan Station (Line 5) and 10 minutes from Magok Station. Its Naver listing gives over 500 problems with more than 70 reset every two weeks, plus a yoga and stretching space; payment is cashless.

Bouldering grades

Each problem's difficulty is shown by colour, from white (easiest) to black. The Climb doesn't publish V-grades; the ranges below come from a Korean climbing guide (May 2026), which says the colours and their grades vary a little between branches and setting seasons.

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

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.
