Yea I have heard from a lot of people that Bouldering Projects Grades are on the softer side. Sometimes its nice because it allows you to try a lot of climbs but when you go to a different gym with a harder grading system you feel a little beaten down haha.
BP grades are soft, and theyre also ranged, which makes them even softer. A black could be anything from v3-v6, and orange anything from v2-v4. I dont think Ive ever seen a black that another gym would grade as v6, and they are rarely v5s. I would knock their entire scale down a grade at least. Blues seems to be the most consistent v5, except when set in the cave. Oranges are all over the place, Ive seen v2 feeling to like v5. Anything green and below should be thought of as v1-0. Purples are pretty consistently v2-v3. Pinks and whites are also super wide ranged. Pinks can be anything from v4 to like v7, where as whites are proper difficult. except occasionally there will be a white dyno set that is super doable by v4-5 climbers. I like to go to edgeworks every once in a while. Their grades are a lot more consistent, and a lot more inline with our outdoor grades. BP sets a lot more beginner friendly, and they set a lot more modern, compy style, which is much less finger strength focused.
another banger from climbing tony
Thank you!
watching this made me realize how terribly sandbagged by gym is... I want this gym instead lol. great vid though!
hahahaha Yea this gym definitely helps boost your ego if are in a slump.
Which BP is this?
Seattle bouldering project Freemont.
Your gym's gradings are so soft ? The V5's at your gym would be average V2's at mine.

seems understandable. I'll have a look at your new videos every once in a while, I'm curious. Have fun :)
