	Grade (bouldering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bouldering grade systems include the "B" system, Hueco "V" grades (also known as the V-scale), Fontainebleau technical grades, route colours, and overall difficulty grades, Peak District grades, and British technical grades.
		In North America, the "V" grades devised by John 'Vermin' Sherman at Hueco Tanks are prevalent, having largely displaced the older "B" grades.
		It is difficult to directly compare bouldering grades to climbing grades; however, a V0 boulder problem would relate approximately to the crux of a 5.9+ climb using the Yosemite Decimal System that is also common in North America.

		Aid climbing uses the grades A0 to A5 depending on the steepness of the terrain and the reliability of the gear placements.
		In theory grade 6 exists and would be used to grade aid climbing where progress is made by climbing directly on equipment placed in or on the rock and not the rock itself.
		Grades at 5.10 and above would be further subdivided by adding a letter "a" (easiest), "b", "c" or "d" (hardest) the difference between letter grades is the same as the difference between number grades that are below 5.10.

	Bouldering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bouldering is climbing without a rope on large boulders to a height no higher than that from which a fall causes significant bodily harm.
		Boulder routes are most commonly referred to as 'problems', because the nature of the climb is often short, curious, and much like problem solving.
		Bouldering is continually gaining in popularity, partly as evidenced by the growth of bouldering areas in indoor climbing gyms and even entire climbing gyms dedicated to bouldering.

	An introduction to climbing grades
		Aid climbs use the grades A1 to A5 depending on the steepness of the terrain, the reliability of the gear placements, exposure, and the general experience necessary.
		Grades 1 to 4 vary from a gently incline to scrambling up rock, while Grade 5 involves placing gear, or 'protection', in the rock to prevent falling to the ground, or 'decking'.
		In the sport of bouldering there are several established technical grading systems for boulder climbing problems, including the Hueco "V" grades, Fontainebleau technical grades, route colours, and overall difficulty grades, Peak District grades, and British technical grades.

		You can easily say that the 5.12 has a v3 crux, for instance, but to say that the v3 boulder problem has a 5.12 crux, when 5.12 implies an endurance component that is relatively absent when compared to sport/trad climbing, is a little more of a stretch.
		To say that the V3 boulder problem is 5.11d would be quite correct, but people may think it is odd of you to say so unless the problem has a lot of moves (regardless of whether it traverses or not).
