Rock climbing rarely provides us with linear progression. It’s a sport where we measure our success with a numerical grade scale, like the V Scale. But, do climbing grades really tell us whether we're getting better at climbing?
Louis Parkinson from Catalyst Climbing and Hannah Morris share a full climbing coaching session at Yonder to unpack how to approach measuring climbing progression, looking beyond just grades to explore the key metrics that define climbing performance—strength, technique, mindset, and movement efficiency.
