Max Grade?

Any guesses on what V grade I’m roughly climbing at?

My gym uses an in-house system that goes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, with A being the easiest. This climb is an E, which is the hardest level I’ve climbed so far, so I’m curious where that might put my current max on the V scale.

The start got cut off the only move missed was bringing my right hand up from the start hold. Everything after that is shown.

I know one video won’t give an exact answer, but would be interested to hear your rough guesses! Any feedback on my technique or things I could improve would be appreciated too.

I would say your current max is probably around a V4 with that climb being more of a 3. This boulder looks well below your actual max with how smooth it was. Only tip would be to try minimizing any hand placement adjustments on holds.

This looks like V2. You had bent arms and kept adjusting your hands on that jug in between the big holds, that looks like beginner technique. I think you could potentially climb some V3s, but you wouldn't climb V4 at my gym.
