How do people feel about different gym grading systems?
I’ve seen a lot of videos the last while where climbs are being graded something like V2-4 by the gym, which just entirely blows my mind? I’d understand for morpho problems or higher grades with less consensus, but I’ve also seen gyms indicate short or tall problems just by tape colour.
Would be interested to hear any benefits people find with grading systems like that. I also understand gyms have an incentive to scale progression for lower grades, but at least at the gyms I’ve been to beginner grades like V0-V4 typically have meaningful skill jumps to the point where I’d feel like such big grade brackets would frustrate me more then make me feel like I’m progressing?
Obviously grading in an of itself is subjective but interested in people opinions of the psychology of it!
