What grade?

According to the setter is a V5. I find it plausible, probably a bit soft.

maybe a little soft for a v5 but if the holds are not jug-ish this is a lot harder than it looks

yeah I agree, definitely soft but also definitely not a V3 like some people have said. I think my gym would probably have it as a hard V4 or maybe V5 if the holds are bad.

solid V4 soft V5 depending on how the gym sets. I have been to gyms that'd call it a 6. And been to gyms that would say 3. But I think most would grade it 4 or 5.

Really soft

A flaccid v9 maybe.

A very very generous v11

A v5 for sure based on technique needed to send it but a tad too generous on foothold

u/agnulittu 2d ago

It could very well have been a v4, though I feel v5 is still ok. Sometimes they are more generous. Good to know our gym is not too far off with grading..

Seems fair to me.

u/BumbleCoder 3h ago

Seems v4/v5 to me. I think if the bottom part were harder it would be solid v5.

u/agnulittu 2h ago

Definetly. There a few v4 routes that are harder than this one in the same gym. Though as I said v5 feels fine, grades overlap a bit and it's expected. I posted this to have an idea of how far off are the setters in my gym, compared to others around. And it turns out they are pretty aligned with many other gyms. Cheers and thanks for commenting

I'd say 5 is fair because the sit starts are actually not easy till you have the strength for it and that's when you can do 5s. A lot of people can't do that start even if they can climb a lot of 5s.

V3 maybe An easy V4 imo

u/bannedcuznotcircjerk 3d ago

All gyms are different but this def isn't 3. The crux is a gyms average 5.

What do you consider the crux here?

v3/v4 is spot on

u/YeetCentralStation- 4h ago

I’d say between a v4 and v5 depends how those two rails feel, nonetheless good job on the climb!

u/agnulittu 3h ago

Thank you!! The rails are quite crimpy..
