@jgraddon You misread my comment, I fully agree that a rating is a rating and can only be applied to the place it is rated in. It's a V7 in that gym, though if it were placed exactly so and on the same wall type/inclination, it would likely be rated very differently. It's a matter of the subjective nature of rating a route/problem. It presents a climber with a means of gauging progress, that's what matters.
@Lunartrek the problem doesnt need to require and sort of tricky sequence, and all slopers, crimpers and angles of walls are different,...just because your wall is arranged with identical crimps and slopers does not mean its more of a 5 then 7...
vertical heaven v7 = v7 ...and im not even from california
ill tell you all right now, if thats a v7 at VH in ventura, its a v7. Thats one of the highest quality gyms in the nation with some of the strongest, smartest setters. the grading is consistent and the problems are quality. if that was a v7, then nice job dude.
@adrianoteles Grades vary from gym to gym and there is no "precise" way to grade a bouldering problem or a climbing route. At best, a climbing grade is a rough mix of opinion, experience, and climbing styles of those involved in naming the grade with a little bit of knowledge thrown in for balance and modest consistency. It's really just meant to help a climber gauge their progress.
If people wanted to give the experienced climbers among us a means of grading for ourselves they would talk beta.
Quif!
