the film Soul Cal has some boulders rated with a suffix of xxx. what does that mean? I assume it has something to do with the fact that those particular problems are really tall...

Well, you likely know that an X means that fall potential exists in some of the moves that "make the grade." You may not realize that a second X means that any spotters you had spotting you earlier on will also perish. The third X means that any photographers or videographers present will also meet their doom. Although, I haven't seen any of the footage your speaking of, and I have never before heard of V3xxx, just like you. You may, therefore, want to take my answer with a grain of salt.

a v3xxx problem is a boulder problem that does not engage in or approve of drinking, drugs, and premarital sex

The XXX rating is totally contrived because any problem has the potential to be XXX if the climber is naked and the spotter has a lubed-up raging boner. It's like claiming a climb is runout just because you didn't stop to place gear. Just clear any dildos, anal beads, penis pumps, and pizza delivery men away from the fall zone and the problem is a plain old V3 again.

Oh, some problems deserve at least an R rating on geological obscenity alone. Have you seen those titty-shaped slopers at the top of Bumboy? Similarly, a modest nun could scale the spire pictured below and it would still be a cinemax-only vid:

Yes there is a different way to boulder. When everyone involved has lubed raging boners. I would think that the xxx rating refers to something naughty. Maybe we should ask the cougar who can grind down the 4x4 into a toothpick.
