Climbing Grades EXPLAINED

In this short tutorial for rock climbing beginners, I explain how to read, understand, and interpret rock climbing grades or ratings. I cover the meaning behind the Yosemite Decimal System (YDS) for route climbing and the V-Scale or Hueco Scale for bouldering. Both of these rating systems are used in the US to describe the difficulty of routes and boulder problems in both indoor and outdoor climbing. I also go into the PG, PG13, R, and X ratings for outdoor climbs. I hope this video answers any questions new rock climbers may have about climbing grades they have seen in guidebooks, at the climbing gym, or at their outdoor crags and boulders.
