Hey I was wondering what distributions of difficulties different gyms have. My guess was V0-V2 about 80%, V3-V5 15%, and V5+ 5%. Then for roped climbs I'm not sure what that would convert to maybe below 5.11 80%, 5.11-5.12 15%, 5.12+ 5%.
What do you guys think?
we do between 65%-75% 10c and under for ropes.
boulders is a different story all together. we maybe have about 30% v2 and under. the bulk of our boulders are V3-V6.
this works well for our members.
Wonder if we can post images on this new forum.. let's see...
.... well here's our routes for right now...
I like that chart Vincent- very nice.
Cool. I didn't really think about lead climbing distribution and it makes since that it would favor harder climbs since if you lead climb you are most likely a strong climber and arent interested in anything under 5.10.
Thanks for the charts they are helpful. I'm trying to figure out the distribution I want for the gym I work at and this has helped just to see what other gyms are doing.
If anybody else know about what their gyms is or has thoughts of what it should be i would be interested.
Make sure you have a good concentration of easy lead routes though.
We had a balance problem there, all hard tens and elevens and twelves for a while, and we were doing no lead courses.
Throw up 2 5.7's a 5.8 2 5.9's and a couple easy tens and everyone wants to do a lead course!
