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.

➡️ TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF TRAINING

Most "simple" training plans are actually fairly complicated when compared to the basics of how to improve at climbing. But they don't need to be. This might be the simplest - and still effective - training plan for climbers of pretty much all levels.

When climbers work a project, the process often goes straight from beta discovery to dialing in microbeta. This isn't wrong, but might be missing some important pieces.

This is by far the most common movement error I see made by advanced climbers, and is one of the biggest differences between advanced and elite climbers.

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?

When your partner claims a hold is a jug and you KNOW that it isn't, is it possible that you're both wrong? 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.
