Explanation of the V-Rating System
The V-Rating system is used by climbers to rate bouldering routes based on difficulty. The lower the number, the easier the route. A V0 is considered a beginner route, whereas a V7 is the most difficult route in the facility. All the ratings are done by our Rock Wall staff, based on exertion and difficulty while climbing the route.
