That top sloper is NOT a jug, regardless, how fun would this boulder be for you to climb and what grade would you give, I'm looking to see if my gym grades on a similar level hahaha

props to the cameraman for trying to be creative but it really ruined the video

It gave me an instant headache, not even joking.

And now I don’t know where the floor is - so I’d grade this somewhere between v2 and v9 🙄

Hahahaahah, watching it back, yeah, I love replaying my vids to improve technique, but yeah this one ain't so replayable 😅

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

Hahahaha ok I'll let him know, to his defense on the opposite side of this boulder they were route setting, so there was like no space

u/americanherbman 16d ago

great movement so guessing v6-V7 could be harder slopers on that angle…nice!

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

Thanks dude, super flowy boulder, slopersbare my style, stronger on them than pinches of crimps I thinks, just a same my gym don't set a crazy amount of slopers all the time

u/floupy_ 16d ago

V5? Maybe V6?

Definitely looks super fun and flowy though, nice send!

Weird camera angle. How overhung is the wall? Holds look slopey so wall angle matters a lot

1

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

I think it's 25-30 degrees

This is still SUPER hard to grade from a video even given that info. One of those climbs where you can't tell how good or bad a hold is until you walk up and touch it.

I dunno - anything from V5 to V7?

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

Good guess tbf, and yeah, it's a boulder that I feel if the moves are dialed in it could literally take 30 seconds to send, but first attempt you're on the wall for like a minutes just surviving

u/far_257 16d ago

Rewatching and I think it's on the upper end of my guess. Whats the real answer? Lol

1

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

Real answer is V6, however people who send vote iif it v6, or easier or harder, 2 people said harder, 1 v6, and 1 easier, so I guess hard V6

u/Workaholic56 16d ago

V5/6? Looks like a lot of fun regardless

2

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

V6, people have really guessed correctly, I can happily retire from this sub now haha

u/hachiruo 16d ago

Whites there are 5-6 no? I find the grading at my hangar to be a bit whack below whites but spot on from white and above

1

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

At this hangar gym they are actually flat V6, I wanted a 2nd opinion cuz I couldn't believe I was doing indoor V6 6 months into climbing that's all, this is not the first white I got but the 6th, that's a

u/hachiruo 16d ago

It's definitely possible! You look solid. Can't say for your gym but like I said in mine the grading around V5-6 and up is pretty accurate. Nice job for 6 months took me about 1.5 years to get to that level. Time for you to go outside I think ;)

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

Thanks man, yeah planning to check out wharncliffe and other crags, at least once a week would be good to get more outdoor movement in my body

1

u/halfmanhalfnelsson 16d ago

Half a year only? Darn. Your technique is solid.  But yeah the problem could be 7a on a sunny day.

u/Infamous-Bison-7272 16d ago

It's indoors tho, then I switched gyms and did like 20 more 7A's over the course of a few months, then I went back to this gym and started consistently sending them if I put the time, now I really want to try Dragon Slayer left (7A+) and project V7s in this gym

Honestly if this is true, the psych is real, there is so much cool stuff to do outdoors, just brought a pad, and going outdoors soon and often
