What kind of grading system are you talking about! Every gym ive been to (ive pretty much been everywhere because i compete) uses the vermin grading system! The color tape means nothing opposed to the grade!

None of these things are standard, and in fact I’ve never been to a gym that used a grading system anything like this. All the places I’ve been to simply use YDS and Hueco Tanks “Vermin” grading systems. This is sorta a stupid video.

I do 5.11s and v2. (as you can see, Im much better at top ropeing than bouldering.)

Hey you should set up your own channel so I can subscribe and just get rock climbing info?
Also videotape yourselves rock climbing hard climbs?!
I’m new to rock climbing and watching people use the different techniques would be awesome!

decent sized holds on a V6? You need to boulder more dude

On most routes past 5.6 indoors, your feet have to be on the colored tape as well. It should say at the bottom of the route. You don’t need to go in the order at all but it helps to see where you climb at.

There are some routes with numbers. I understand your hands have to be on them but your feet can use any holds. Also u do not need to go in order for the numbers. Anyone correct me on this?
