🤔💭WHY TBD TAGS💭🤔
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
-DISCOVERY is an exciting piece to climbing. Tags and grades can be a heavy influence to limiting your chances of finding more and create SLB’s (self limiting beliefs).
-CONSENSUS on grades can be quite challenging. Body types, sizes, strength and mentality can affect the individual experience making things subjective. Time the setters get for each installment and testing also plays a factor.
- APPEAL to a climb that you are drawn to because of something about the climb, not the grade, and then later finding out it was on one you would have never tried because of a label.
::HOW IT WILL WORK::
Each week’s new set will have everything V3 and above tagged TBD. All climbs V2 and below will be labeled with a grade. When the setting team comes in the following week the TBD tags will be removed and replaced with a graded tag. Enjoy!
