Same Color Circuit, Added V-Grades.

OUR 8 COLOR CIRCUIT SYSTEM GUIDES YOU THROUGHOUT THE GYM DURING YOUR VISIT.
THIS CIRCUIT SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO TAILOR EACH SESSION TO YOUR SPECIFIC CLIMBING NEEDS AND CAPABILITY. EVERY CIRCUIT WILL CHALLENGE YOUR BODY AND MIND IN MULTIPLE TYPES OF MOVEMENT, BODY POSITIONS AND TECHNIQUE. THE COLORED START TAG AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY BOULDER INDICATES THE CLIMBING CIRCUIT THAT BOULDER IS A PART OF. 

The introduction of V-Grades to our color circuit system. This rating system provides climbers with a little more understanding of the difficulty of boulder problems.


Simply put, climbing grades are a roadmap for your climbing progression. The higher the number, the more challenging the climb. With V-Grades, we’ve introduced a familiar scale that rates boulder problems from V0-V12
​
  • Climbing Insight: V-grades can help offer a deeper insight into the complexity of each boulder problem. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced climber, this rating can help choose climbs that match your skill level and goals.
  • ​Better conversations: Talking about climbing with fellow climbers will help you discuss your climbing experiences and challenges more accurately.

It’s important to remember that climbing grades are all subjective. There’s no one-size-fits-all grading system. Factors like height, reach, and climbing style can influence how difficult a climb feels. 
Embrace the variety, adapt, and always strive to try hard!

  • FAVORITE CLIMBING AREA: Yosemite is probably my favorite place on Earth, it's a magical place for me. Bishop is somewhere I'll always return to for the rest of my life even though the climbing is kinda choss, Tahoe is super underrated, has AMAZING climbing and is just beautiful
  • FAVORITE POST CLIMB SNACK / FOOD: I almost always have Gnarly Protein with me for right after climbing, then it's usually veggies and a protein for dinner and a glass of red wine or bourbon
​INSPIRATION:
I routeset because I love climbing and sharing it with other people. I find it extremely satisfying to watch people's emotional experience while climbing on something I set, even better if they learn something from one of my creations.
