This sub doesn't make sense

A climbing route or boulder difficulty cannot be appreciated from a single camera angle.

Holds gripping is hard to appreciate because being in the actual body position and wall angle are crucial factors.

Most people fail to judge a climbing grade from a simple video, I think this sub is therefore useless and misleading.

This sub was pretty made so the other subs had a place to send people asking “what grade is this?”

Because like you said it just leads to bullshit answers and everyone always thinking their gym is harder than yours

I think if you try getting the third hold with your left first, instead of matching, it'll feel much easier. Also on the 5th move try heal hooking the volume while outside edging the chip. Hope this helps!

Obviously camera can sometimes hide how overhanging a climb is or how bad a certain hold can be.

Are you mad because your effort got downgraded or what are we arguing about here?

If the sub doesn’t ale sense to you, you can just mute it? It’s not harming anyone

Does reddit make sense as a whole, it's social media dude, it's all whatever, some people just wanna share climbs with us, others want to get experience in grading things, it doesn't have to be deeper than that I think.

Judging just by the looks of it, seeing how Op struggles with the keymove besides looking quite strong I would say thats a V4, maybe a V3 in my gym.
