Bouldering V grades to Yosemite Decimal System

This may have been discussed before, but if it has it’s pretty well hidden in the depths of MP. Anyways, I’m a pretty strong when it comes to bouldering generally in the V6 range outdoors/ indoors, but when it comes to sport climbing I find myself struggling on the comparative 5.12+ grades. Is there something I’m missing out on here? I feel like it shouldn’t be that much different when it comes down to it since it’s basically the same thing.

It’s either a lack of power endurance or just a lack of focus while on a rope. Are you falling off because you’re pumped or falling off because of a lack of power?

Not unusual at all. Two totally different disciplines. Im the opposite and climb harder grades roped than I can on boulders. I think it boils down to experience on the rope, endurance, grip strength and technique vs pure power which I desperately lack. I’ve never let it bother me. 

One thing I learned from the IFSC guys and girls - use. every. rest.  Even if you aren't pumped yet.  Finding rests on a sustained 5.12 might take some talent, of course, but it can make a huge difference versus trying to "boulder" up a route with pure power endurance.

Where you leading?  A place like Horseshoe Canyon where the routes aren't long and may just have a short boulder crux would probably get you higher grades (besides the fact that HCR is soft) than say any of the overhanging jug haul enduro-fests at the Red.
