I got one move from the top of a 5.11a for the first time the other day and I'm super proud of myself for it.

Don't worry about gym grades. They are all arbitrary. Although I don't like rock n jam I do like that they grade bouldering easy (V0 - V2), medium (V2 - V5), hard (V5 - V8), expert (V8 - V??). Because really who cares, problems change once a month in the gym.

Just go try them and have fun.

Bouldering grades are especially bizarre to me. I can on-sight a 5.10c if I'm warmed up, and am working on 5.11a's right now, but anything in the bouldering area of our gym that isn't a v0 is just a nightmare that I can't even make the first move on.

Does anyone have any advice for starting bouldering as a real tall fucker? I can knock out v2 if I cheat and start standing, but the starting holds from a sit down position put me in a spot where I cannot get any leverage whatsoever and can only start the babiest of v0 routes
