In this episode of our Patrons Only podcast, We Scream Like Eagles, Kris and Nate discuss the considerations that should be taken into account when looking for your first of a new grade - whether sport or bouldering.

They discuss things like location, conditions, style, what everyone else thinks of the grade, and more, breaking each consideration down as to its importance in the grand scheme of things.

You can become a Patron for as little as $3, and you’ll get a minimum of two bonus episodes delivered straight to your podcast app each month (with the exception of Spotify).
