20. Are Climbing Grades Really That Useful?
About this episode
In this podcast episode, we talked about the subjective nature of climbing grades. We question the reliability of the grading system, highlighting the variability among climbers and potential bias. As we know, climbing should be viewed as a skill-based sport rather than being tied to a grade, so we offer some options on how to measure your own progress, and what value you should place on your climbing.
We also share some of our favorite quotes about grades. Here the Intagram link to the post I was referring to. Please feel free to share your own one liners that make you feel motivated about climbing and seeing progress. https://www.instagram.com/p/C3qKb0mJEr6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
