Juliet Hammer | A Better Relationship With Climbing Grades (Especially if You're Short)

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.

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. 

TAPED TIPS | Is Grade Chasing Actually as Bad as We Make It Out to Be?

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?
