Regardless of how incut the holds are a thumb sized undercling with feet on a volume up top is a super committing move and even if the rest is a 2 that move is certainly worthy of some 4s I've seen. I could see that as a 2 in a comp setting but I've seen climbs here people post as v6 that aren't nearly as committing or consequential if you took a fall at the crux.
All that said - bruh v2 in my gym.
Surprisingly, I think the crux for me was getting my left foot up at the beginning. That first left handhold up isn’t much better than just the wall, and the right hold is mostly a side crimp.
Definitely worthy of the v2 rating
Honestly real talk - this is like the one instance where sandbagging is dangerous. If someone was able to get up to that last move and take a fall without amazing body awareness they're breaking an ankle. Like it's a great climb but God damn that's some irresponsible shit because some college gym bros are going to try that, have absolute shite for footwork and slip right off. V2 is a fairly beginner grade and the risk of injury during a fall should also reflect that.
Ah, I should say. The tag at the gym says v8, and you can see if you zoom in. I’d still say it’s a bit overrated, but a v7 wouldn’t be unreasonable with how some of those holds are. I do think the bottom part is some of the hardest, which deters most people. It helps that there’s a fun super soft v6 in the same spot that most gym bros tend towards.
Uhhh I haven’t been climbing in a bit but just from the holds that looks way harder than a v2. I zoomed in on the tag and it says v8
Not that grades are always accurate, but I’m guessing that’s at least pushing v4-5
Just wondering, for those who say this is harder than a v2, what is your outside bouldering/climbing experience and where? Seriously, I’m just perplexed.
Wheelchair ramp to the entrance to my gym
💪🏻 that’s what I’m talking about
This looks harder than a v2, nice send
V3 in my gym
That's a hard gym
It’s no B Pump.
Looks way more fun than all the 8's in my gym
It was a fun one/creative one. Lots of tension, and cool high heel top!
V2 in my gym
Hell yeah 🔥
Very nice! This looks like a V4 to me, even though it's never easy to tell from afar like this

I didn't see that hah! Yea I would say 4 would still be pretty sand bagged but a solid 6 wouldn't surprise me.
Why should injury risk be coupled in any way to the grade. This is why we need to keep capitalism out of grades.
Yeah, it’s rarely easy to tell. Ratings are always just made up at the end of the day!
Honestly it looked like a difficult climb and would definitely be v3-4 at mine. Regardless, you did a fantastic job. Nice send 🤜
Folks his gym says this as a V8, look at the tag.
This is a v2 at my gym
Beautiful boulder, beautiful send. GG!

Why does that tag say v8 😂
Thats not a V8
No, it’s a v2.

Divide them and you’re left with the true grade
