✨MEMBER SPOTLIGHT✨
Meet Brittney! Brittney`s been a part of the DFW climbing community since 2018 and has been hooked ever since! Recently, she`s dabbled in the art of bringing together the community with her and her friend Sianna`s polls at every comp. When not climbing, Brittney is an Occupational Therapist, enjoys reading (horror and thrillers exclusively), watching Bluey, and baking! If y`all haven`t had her ube cookies or conchas, you`re missin` out. 💙🧡
If you were a hold, what hold would you be and why?
"I`d definitely be a crimp because I`m small with a bit of an edge 😅"
Did you choose climbing or did climbing choose you?
"Climbing chose me!! I have a good friend who took me top roping years ago (circa 2018), and I instantly fell in love. Fun fact: I couldn`t grip my steering wheel afterward, so that was a fun drive home. 💀"
What`s 1 piece of advice you have for folks new to the climbing?
"My advice is always; try everything. Put hands on something and give it a go, regardless of the grade. You might surprise yourself with the cool things you`re capable of. 💙"
If you see Brittney around the gym, don`t be shy - say hi! She loves to make new friends, chat about her career, and gathering her awesome crew for themed climbing mornings at Plano! @brittaynaynay 👊
Seriously guys stoppp who said that? 🫵 That’s crazyyy we would never say that 👀
Wayyyyy cool 😎

A-D route grading is back! 🌟
As of today, +/- grading will be retired and replaced with A-D grading at all Movement rope gyms. We`ve experimented with many grading systems across our gyms, and through our collective experience, we feel that A-D offers the most optimal in-gym experience when combined with consensus grading.
This A-D and consensus dynamic duo offers three key benefits ⬇️
1️⃣ Subjectivity of grading: Your experience with a climb is unique to you! Our Routesetters put a lot of thought into every grade, considering diverse perspectives, climbing styles, and experiences. We propose grades, but it’s the climbing community that ultimately shapes them through feedback and consensus. Using the YDS A-D scale for routes in combination with consensus tags, we aim to keep grades as fair and consistent as possible while staying true to local norms.
2️⃣ Increased granularity improves the ability to self-curate your experience: We know that tracking progress and performance is important to many climbers, and with a more granular grade offering, session curation and performance tracking is improved.
3️⃣ Authentic to the core of our sport: The most common grading system for sport climbing is the YDS A-D scale. Grades vary wildly depending on the area, first ascensionist, ethics, etc., but we feel it is important to align with this system as it provides an experience that is relatable and authentic to the sport.
If you`re new to the YDS scale - here`s the breakdown:
👉 5.10- = 5.10a/b
👉 5.10+ = 5.10c/d
Grading isn’t an exact science, and it’s always evolving alongside the climbing community. While grades will never be perfect, they create a shared language for setting goals, tracking progress, and finding the right challenge. Whether grades push you to try harder or just serve as a rough guideline, we’re stoked to roll out this change and we hope you are too! Climb on 🧗
