Every climb has a strip of tape at its start with a grade, and the higher the number, the harder the climb. Many gyms also use tape colours that group a few grades together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>V0 to V1:<\/strong> big holds close together. Most beginners climb one in their first session.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>V2 to V3:<\/strong> smaller holds, and moves where good footwork matters.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>V4 to V5:<\/strong> steeper walls and harder moves in a row, usually after months of regular climbing.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>V6 and up:<\/strong> climbs that strong, experienced climbers work on over several visits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grades are a guide, not a rule. A climb can feel easier or harder depending on your height, reach and style, and every gym grades a little differently. Start a grade or two below what you think you can do, try climbs of the same grade on different walls, and move up when most of them feel steady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the numbers on the tape mean, and how to choose climbs at the right level for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":20,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/block.ltheme.com\/lt-cruxa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
