Like it or not, grades are a part of climbing, and I've recently been exploring how to have a good relationship with them. In that exploration, I've decided on a range that I believe any given grade represents.  But to stress test that range, I wanted to talk to someone who is an above average climber with an above average resume, spends a considerable amount of time thinking about this subject, AND who ISN’T the height of an average male like I am.  One person really stood above the others – pun intended. Juliet Hammer. She’s a coach, crusher, has been doing experiments concerning indoor grades and working on a resource for how to engage with grades. And she’s just shy of 5 feet tall. Perfect.  Check Out Juliet's Course Beyond Grades Juliet on YouTube Watch My Grade Videos Subscribe To The Current

This isn't wrong, but might be missing some important pieces.  Watch it on YouTube ➡️ASSESS AND IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE ➡️MONTHLY CLIMBING THOUGHTS IN YOUR INBOX  Music Used: "Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G, Movement I (Allegro), BWV 1049" "Bass Vibes" "Bass Walker" "Rollin at 5" "String Impromptu Number 1" From: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ DISCLAIMER: Climbing and training for climbing is inherently dangerous.

A breakdown of the single movement error that keeps advanced climbers stuck. Short examples challenge you to spot hesitation between static control and dynamic momentum. Discussion covers tricky situations like crosses and underclings and how indecision sabotages performance. Practical coaching advice pushes you to commit, practice both solutions, and train tactics near your limit.

Watch this on YouTube. We're regularly told that chasing grades in climbing is bad, but what does it even mean? Is it actually all that negative? Or is there a more nuanced take that makes more sense in reality?

And both right? Science says that is common, and it has big implications for how we consider climbing grades and how we think about progress.
