I agree with Fatboy. It is very hard to compare bouldering to routes sometimes. You can have an endurance pitch like monkey puzzle, graded 28, which has probably got nothing harder than a v2 move on it. How can this compare with a v7 or v8, 5 move boulder problem. I think you can compare the crux moves on a route to V grades and this can be helpful if you would like to know hard you will have to pull at the crux, but I think that bouldering and route climbing are (mostly) different entities.
