Cool update from Jason Kehl about time spent in Hueco Tanks with Ashima Shiraishi:
I personally think grades are meaningless, a rough estimate. Ashima has proven this by taking everything we thought they new about grades and throwing it out the window.

Its all about your perspective not about a number someone labeled the rock with.

I’m really happy for Ashima, and definitely agree with Kehl. Grades are completely relative to your own body, and thats the beauty of climbing that different bodies need new and creative solutions to the same problem.

Is it fair to say lets wait till her fingers get normal size before we start arguing over grades?

climbing, like gymnastics, will soon be dominated by little girls.

Grades are an average, Ashima isn’t “average”. If it’s V10, then it’s V10 for the average type of climber. If grades were meaningless then we wouldn’t be talking about them at all and Jason probably wouldn’t be sponsored.

As such, I propose having a Wee-Scale…

Because clearly Jason’s sponsors don’t care about his propensity for climbing highballs and history of four-star first ascents across the country…

Bachar has a few four star highballs, but he faded from the spotlight when he stopped pushing grades… Don’t hate the player, hate the game. (it IS a game BTW)
