Do Grades Matter?

Grades. Love them or hate them, they’re part of our sport. Today, we sit down with Summit Journal’s (summitjournal.com) Owen Clarke (instagram.com/opops13), coach Juliet Hammer (instagram.com/juliet_amanda) and professional climber Jonathan Siegrist (instagram.com/jonathansiegrist) to talk Darth Grader, what holds us back and how to break through.
