ROUTESETTING

Our routesetting team works year-round to bring the community a variety of creative and challenging climbs for all levels of climbing. Echo Park sees a reset of one wall per week to bring fresh, new climbs on a regular basis, but with enough time in between sets to work your projects. See our setting schedule below.

GRADING SYSTEM

  • Boulder problems are generally graded in difficulty from VB to V10+ (easy to hard).
  • The color of the tag represents the grade grouping: green, blue, yellow, red, or black.
  • The color of the holds denotes the path of the climb.
  • Tags with the grade (i.e. “V1”) denote both the grade and where you begin the climb.
  • “2nd Hand” tags denote an additional secondhand start hold.
  • Climbs are finished either by getting both hands on the top of the wall or on the hold with the “Finish” tag.
