Climbing Grades EXPLAINED

In this short tutorial for rock climbing beginners, I explain how to read, understand, and interpret rock climbing grades or ratings. I cover the meaning behind the Yosemite Decimal System (YDS) for route climbing and the V-Scale or Hueco Scale for bouldering. Both of these rating systems are used in the US to describe the difficulty of routes and boulder problems in both indoor and outdoor climbing. I also go into the PG, PG13, R, and X ratings for outdoor climbs. I hope this video answers any questions new rock climbers may have about climbing grades they have seen in guidebooks, at the climbing gym, or at their outdoor crags and boulders.

Awesome video! Just one note: I’m pretty sure plus and minus exist to denote wether a route is sustained in difficulty. So 5.11- might be 5.9 most of the way up with one or two moves on grade. While 5.11+ likely maintains the grade the entire route. As for abcd ratings, it’s important to note that the difference between 5.11a and 5.11b is the same as that of 5.8 and 5.9. Peace!

I’ve actually never heard that before, that’s good beta. Thanks!

Best explanation ever. Why can't you Americans and the europeans agree to an universal rating system?

I'll admit I know nothing about climbing but only Americans would say 5.15 is higher than say 5.9 and then call it the decimal system :)

whats a 6b+? thanks for not explaining

@JesseMontgomery 2 года назад

Great question! 6b+ is actually part of the French system of grading that is widely used in Europe. It corresponds to about 5.11a in the Yosemite Decimal System. Here’s a helpful conversion chart: www.google.com/search?q=climbing+grade+conversion&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS704US704&oq=climbing+grade&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i512l5.5262j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=fazieS2krO0fnM Different countries and regions all over the world have different and unique grading systems. In the interest of keeping it short, this video covers the most commonly used grading system in the US. Thanks for watching and happy climbing!
