Circuit Grading FAQs
Created for all Body Types + Experience Levels
What is Circuit Grading?
A New-ish Approach to Bouldering
Circuit grading still involves traditional V-grades, but does so within a range rather than assigning one V-grade per problem. Each of the circuit ranges provides overlap to the adjacent ranges which encourages our community to explore boulders without attachment to a finite V-grade.
Where do I start?
Starting Off On The Right Foot
If you’re new to climbing, start at the white labeled single bar of the Climb logo + explore from there. If you are more seasoned, start in any range that appeals to you and journey from there. There is intentional overlap in the circuit ranges + many opportunities to complete boulders in multiple circuits when finding your projects!
Why Circuits?
A Classic European Approach
So What Does This Mean?
Let's break it down.
- Climb’s circuit system guides climbers through nine different ranges, each of which will cover about three V-grades (ex: V3-V5)
- Circuits reduce intimidation and inspire curiosity, letting climbers choose routes for fun rather than fixed grades
- Circuits remove the subjectivity of pinpointing a set number grade, sometimes a frustration based on body type diversity
- Circuits are a great way to experience a climbing session with your community!
- Circuits help us attempt climbs that may have been assumed as "too hard"
More Details
You are welcome to jump in anywhere! However, if you are new to climbing, we recommend starting with the white labeled single bar + continue moving through the various circuit ranges until you find your sweet spot!
There are multiple legends throughout the gym. If you need help finding one, please ask us!
Ask the routesetters! We’re not here to keep secrets 😉
Circuits are awesome! They are found in gyms all over the world, but most notably in the French bouldering Mecca of Fontainbleau. These circuits guide you through a series of problems in a range of difficulty to create a certain experience or to help climbers polish and perfect a certain skill.
