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...

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.

It probably has something to do with Soul Cal being the worst climbing film ever made.

In reply to: 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.
Damn. That's some serious shit. I won't even ask about the V9zzz

no you don't. i'm pretty sure the only people who can tell the difference between the two are people who could actually climb them.

You asked "is this a joke?" --> Yes. Calm down.
What makes you think its on the harder side of v3?
