Josh and Rhos are talking about a stand out grade/benchmark in climbing performance, the grade of 8a or 5.13b. At least here in the UK, it seems to stand out as quite an ambitious and obvious grade breaking into the echelons of the 8th grade. It is often a lifetime goal. Rhos is a world class sport climber so who better to chat to about climbing a grade with such gravitas. Here we talk about the most important tactics and the approach any climber should consider if they want to climb the grade of 8a.
