How Long did it take to do your first v6?
I sort of unlocked the v6's after 6 months actually. It was a pretty solid v6, and after that, it was as if this whole new world opened up and I was able to climb even more v6's. Of course not all, but some, and others I was able to do a few moves, while before I was struggling a lot on v5's.

Top Answer:
As you scale up the climbing grades, progressing from one grade to the next will be more difficult for each new grade. It makes sense that reaching and climbing v9s consistently will be harder and take longer than it did for you to reach the v8s. The...
