Indoor Rock Climbing Techniques : How Bouldering Routes are Rated for Indoor Rock Climbing

[BulldogBJJ]

(THE BEGINNING) HI, im the not so much of an expert about climbing in behalf of "dont know what the hell we are talking about village". and in this scene just like all the other scenes ill b leaving key points out that may kill you and give you false information as much as possible without seeming suspicious. Ik right now u probably think that im about to shit myself but i will try my best not to. now lets get started

[hansjurgen]

This video had what to do with how bouldering problems are rated?

[mammouthfacher]

incompetent com



[56Tylor]

I the rating system is over rated and is constantly changing...

[EdMajinLee199999]

Expert village makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

[Wilsonbed]

Im from the cheapest Ass Place in england and my local Wall has coloured rocks instead of tape Were are you Samalia?

[CurlyFriesOC1]

@Wilsonbed

This makes it easier for the gym to switch up routes. The gym I go to changes most of the routes once a month. Imagine how difficult that would be if you could only use one color of holds.

[unclepeter99]

god that was boring.

[ClimberTB]

Fuckin idiot

[dozentrio]

There was no point to filming this, he could have done just audio and I would have gotten as much from it. Can't see his feet. No real demonstration!

[wassupbrah]

shouldn't they be rating according to the crux? like wingstrat28 mentioned a route may look easy then get really thin as you get up

[lolindirvardamir]

where is this place from?

[kmfdmwill]

That's the only thing climbers do is argue over how hard something really is. Its all subjective and can vary from gym to gym and from region to region outside. Thats a warning to all you snadbaggers out there! Thats also because the first system in the U.S. Yosemite Decimal System had to change when climbers started climbing much harder then the system was designed to measure. So stop chasing numbers you know how hard something is for you when you do it.

[MrBfire19]

@kmfdmwill and on top of that... i'm 5'9. i go climbing with a buddy that's 6'3, sometimes i'll have to dyno what he can just reach out and grab and other times i'll be able to jam my body into a position he's just too big for. some routes are easier for me. others are much harder and they can the same "number"

[ptclimb]

this guy blatently doesn't have a clue

[matrim41]

I think that's Momentum in Utah! Sweet, I go there all the time.

[AKAllTC90]

He didn't really explain the rating system, he just said that it exists, I'm a fairly new climber and I can look at a route and know if I can climb but I can't tell you what it is approximately rated just by climbing it.

[dangrout]

u will start to find out what grades things are by just climbing more. i find it is easy to grade something if it is realy on your limit , because you know what your limit is, but when it comes to things you find easy you do not have such a good "yard stick"

and yes this guy does not explain it very well probably because he does not know.

[Wingstrat28]

If you buy a guide book for the area you climb around, it has all the ratings in them. it is really hard to just look at a route and tell what it is cause it might get really thin as you go up and you never would have known. I think its better just to keep trying till you get it no matter what the rating is it just makes you a better climber.

[littlefishdk450]

there arent supposed to be... but im sure people throw some on. And agree id say (based off where i go) a v0 is more of a 5.8-9ish

[alexspalex09]

yes there are....

retard.

[thetree21220]

Ok no there are not plus and minus on the V scale. And a V0 is no where close to a 5.10

[GeneralSuvarov]

@thetree21220 yeah i agree.. V0 is more like 5.5. and V1 more like 5.7 V2 5.8....

Also i thought they were going to show us how the routes are rated and why. not what the ratings are...

[damnotyrannus]

@thetree21220 It all depends on where you climb but most gyms try to rate their V0 equal to their 5.10. If this is in question ask the route setter at your gym. There are +/- on the V scale. If you don't believe me look at the ratings on any bouldering website, such as mountain project or supertopo. The  +/- is used to indicate a move in the problem that ranks above or below the overall rating. e.g. a V1+ problem will have a V2 move in it. At least this video is trying to support the sport.
