How hard is V4 boulder?


How hard is V4 boulder? Subjectively V4 is the grade where the climbing starts to require good technique but not really any specialized strength. Outdoors it could take about 3–5 years to reach the point where you are comfortable climbing but outdoors is much harder, in the gym I would say about 2 years.
