V-Scale Bouldering Grade
The V-scale grades boulder problems from V0 upward—subjective but useful for tracking progression, session load, and finger recovery needs.
The V-scale bouldering grade ranks indoor and outdoor boulder problems from V0 to V17, with each step reflecting harder moves, smaller holds, and more powerful sequences. Grades are subjective and vary by setter, rock type, and your strengths—compression versus crimps versus slabs.
Track sends and attempts, not ego labels, when planning weekly load. A V5 flash and a V5 project after twenty tries stress fingers differently.
