Having been climbing for as long as I can physically remember, I have been privy to a variety of changes in the climbing community. Climbing is technical and belayed roping with protection is required. Initially, the decimal-system basis for the YDS capped ratings at 5.9 for the most difficult climbs at that time. Posts in all Forums, Free Sometimes you see a + or – appended to a value to distinguish difficulty level within the same rating. Once I’m done (the whole workout takes around 45 minutes) I head back into the normal climbing area. And even if you take them all into account, they might not be determining factors.

While there used to be just a small handful of climbers at the top (and at the highest level there still are only a few) there are now dozens of climbers performing at what up to a few years ago was the hardest bouldering grade, V15 and the hardest rope grade, 5.15b. -Day 3 is pure climbing for as long as I want. I typically try to climb at least 20 hard boulders, and depending on the day this takes anywhere from 1.5-3 hours.

The B system conceived by John Gill in the 1950s was a universal rating scheme for bouldering, having three categories: "B1" was defined as "... the highest level of difficulty in traditional roped climbing", "B2" was harder than B1, or "bouldering level", and the grade "B3" designated a route ascended only once, although tried by others on several occasions. An added rating of A1 through A5 further designates difficulty level. If you played sports in the past and you’ve just started climbing then you should do better than most other people who have lived a sedentary lifestyle.
