Talk:Grade (bouldering)/Archive 1

wow, lonely in here...
so in this badass video here (http://vimeo.com/3087474?pg=embed&sec=&hd=1) some of the boulders are graded with the letter 'R' appended to them, and they look much harder than the grades declared... The V7R (for example) is being climbed by Daniel Woods, one of the world's strongest boulderers, a guy who has sent v14+... So what's the 'R' all about? PS..... I've climbed with a couple of these guys!! Bay Area Pride!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.200.172.61 (talk) 06:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC) Just looked again, and the V5R is also Daniel Woods... and looks WAY harder than v5... the first moves look maybe v5, then he rests on a jug for days, and climbs a much harder looking problem from there... Every move after the jug looks harder than v5. is the 'R' for extension? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.200.172.61 (talk) 06:27, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The R is just to denote that the problems are highball and don't have any bearing on the V grade. Can't judge a problem just by looking at it! --94.195.129.125 (talk) 00:38, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Colors aren't explained
The colors in the chart under "Comparisons of bouldering grades" aren't explained. They differ from the color in the Grade (climbing) article here on Wikipedia.

Open-ended ranges to
"The open-ended numerical system ranges from 1A to 8C+"

Doesn't make sense to me.
