So who decides how hard a climb is?

Technically, all of us.

Someone climbs a route and proposes a grade. Then other people climb it. Some agree. Some don’t. Eventually something resembling consensus emerges.

Which is a surprisingly democratic system for something climbers take so personally.

But there’s another problem.

Difficulty is personal.

You’re tall. You’re short. You’ve got small fingers. Big fingers. You’re flexible. Powerful. Terrible at slabs. Weirdly good at kneebars.

You’re climbing in perfect conditions.

Or Kentucky has decided to become a sauna.

And in Mo’s case, she’s doing all of this with one hand.

Yet somehow we’re supposed to compress all those variables into one neat little number and agree that this is precisely how hard the rock is.

For GRADE A BU****IT, we followed Mo Beck to Kentucky and Far From God, 5.12b.

She worked hard.

Really hard.

And the more effort she put into climbing one particular number, the funnier the whole idea became.

Because even if you train for months, fight through failure and eventually clip the chains, there’s nothing stopping someone called TradDad69 from logging onto Mountain Project the next morning and announcing:

“11d.”

Grades are useful.

They help us understand what we’re getting ourselves into. They give us progression. They give us goals.

But they’re also subjective, imperfect and occasionally completely ridiculous.

Are grades real?

Or are they Grade A Bu****it?

Coming soon.

We were approached by Mo Beck to make a climbing film.

When we first sat down with Mo, we talked about Days of Future Past, her first 5.12.

She had climbed it.

Then it got downgraded.

And you could tell it had really bothered her.

Not simply because a number had changed, but because of what that number represented.

You spend years training, months working towards something, finally clip the chains, and then somewhere along the way a consensus decides what you did wasn’t quite as hard as everyone thought.

Mo had another question too:

Would the grade have changed if it hadn’t been climbed by a woman with one hand?

That got us thinking.

Who actually decides a grade?

The first ascensionist proposes one. Other climbers agree or disagree. Guidebooks change. Mountain Project changes. Consensus shifts.

For something we use as an objective measure of difficulty, there seems to be an awful lot of opinion involved.

Perhaps grades aren’t measurements at all.

Perhaps they’re conversations.

And occasionally, arguments.

That became the beginning of GRADE A BU****IT.

Coming soon.

Behind every piece of infrastructure are people responsible for keeping it working.

For our recent project with Sterling, we spent time in Maine alongside the wind turbine technicians at Coastal Composites doing exactly that.

Their workplace happens to begin several hundred feet above the ground.

They climb into turbines to inspect, diagnose and maintain the systems inside. The work requires technical knowledge, physical ability, good judgement and trust between the people doing it.

Those details matter to us.

At Well Good, we’ve spent years telling stories in technical environments where understanding how people work is just as important as understanding where they work.

Our crews are comfortable on ropes, at height, in remote environments and around complicated systems. That experience allows us to work alongside specialist teams and put the camera where the story is actually happening.

But being there is only part of our job.

We listen. We learn how people work. We understand the systems around them and give people the space to tell their own story.

The technicians at Coastal Composites welcomed us into their world for a few days.

Our responsibility was to do their work justice.

Energy is one of those things most of us depend on every minute of the day without thinking much about what it takes to produce it.

Recently we travelled to Maine with Sterling to document wind turbine technicians at work and create a campaign around the Sterling PDQ3.

Wind turbines are remarkable pieces of engineering. They take an abundant natural resource and convert it into electricity at a scale capable of powering communities.

But building renewable infrastructure is only part of the equation.

It has to be operated, inspected and maintained.

That means people.

Technicians climbing hundreds of feet into these machines, working through changing weather and maintaining complicated mechanical and electrical systems to keep energy moving into the grid.

At Well Good, these are the environments we specialize in.

Large infrastructure. Technical access. Difficult locations. Real people doing highly skilled work.

We take the time to understand the industry, the equipment and the people in front of our cameras because that’s how we believe authentic stories are made. We care about the worlds we’re invited into, and about doing justice to the people who allow us to tell their stories.

There is an enormous transition happening in how the world produces energy.

We want to document the people building and maintaining it.

The brands that inspire us most aren’t chasing trends.

They’re solving real problems.

When our friends Tom Raymond and Alan Spadafora launched Circle Soil, they weren’t just creating another premium soil. They were helping build a more circular system by partnering with CO₂ Sync to incorporate biochar, improving soil performance while storing carbon that would otherwise return to the atmosphere.

Those are exactly the kinds of companies we love working alongside.

As storytellers, our role is to translate innovation into something people can feel. Together with Sydney Peterson, Circle Soil’s Creative Director, we developed a visual language that felt understated, premium, and authentic. Rather than relying on flashy visuals, we let the product speak for itself through rich textures, beautiful ingredients, and the quiet confidence of thoughtful design.

The result is a brand that feels as considered as the science behind it.

Thanks for trusting Well Good Media to help tell the story. We can’t wait to watch where Circle Soil grows next.

Not every climate solution looks like cutting-edge robotics or satellites.

Sometimes it looks like soil.

Circle Soil, together with CO₂ Sync, is transforming forest biomass into biochar, creating healthier soils while sequestering carbon for generations. It’s thoughtful innovation rooted in science, and exactly the kind of story we love helping tell.

As a creative agency, we enjoy partnering with founders who are building products with real purpose. Our goal wasn’t to overcomplicate the visuals. Instead, we leaned into restraint. Clean compositions. Honest textures. Rich earth tones. We wanted every frame to celebrate the quality of the ingredients and the craftsmanship behind the product.

Working closely with Sydney Peterson, Circle Soil’s Creative Director, the project became a collaboration built around a shared vision: premium products deserve premium storytelling.

It’s always rewarding when creativity can help amplify companies building a better future.

Building Something That Matters

There’s something special about helping build a brand before the rest of the world discovers it.

As a creative agency, we love the opportunity to create something new alongside companies working toward a better future. Over the last year, we were fortunate to work alongside our friends Tom Raymond and Alan Spadafora as Circle Soil grew from an idea into a premium soil company built around innovation and sustainability.

At the heart of Circle Soil is biochar, a carbon-rich material that helps lock carbon into the soil while improving water retention, nutrient availability, and soil health. It’s one of those rare ideas where better products and better outcomes for the planet go hand in hand.

From a creative standpoint, we felt the best approach was simple, refined, and premium. Rather than over-stylizing the product, we wanted the richness of the soil, the quality of the ingredients, and the lifestyle surrounding thoughtful gardening to speak for themselves.

Working alongside Circle Soil’s website team and Creative Director, Sydney Peterson, Well Good Productions’ in-house Creative Director and photographer, Gaz Leah, helped develop a visual language that reflected the brand’s premium positioning while remaining authentic to the science and purpose behind it.

The best creative work is always collaborative, and we’re grateful to have been trusted with helping shape a brand that’s building a better future.

Congratulations to Tom R , Alan Spadafora , Sydney Peterson and the entire Circle Soil team. We can’t wait to watch it continue to grow.

FIND YOUR WILD
A visitor’s journey begins long before they arrive.

Every brochure picked up in a hotel lobby, every poster on a cruise ship, every rack card in a visitor center becomes the first chapter of an adventure.

For Kenai Wild River Tours, we developed a suite of printed marketing materials designed to reflect the same sense of wonder found on the river itself. The goal wasn’t simply to communicate information. It was to inspire curiosity before guests ever stepped aboard.

Great destination marketing should feel authentic to the landscape it represents. Good design disappears, leaving only the desire to explore.

FIND YOUR WILD 🐻
Tourism isn’t about destinations. It’s about emotion.

The places people remember aren’t defined by their coordinates, but by the feeling they leave behind. A child seeing their first bald eagle. A family quietly drifting past a bear on the riverbank. The anticipation of what waits around the next bend.

When I work with destinations, that’s the story I’m looking for. Not simply what a place looks like, but why someone should care enough to experience it themselves.

The Kenai River is one of those rare places where wildlife, wilderness, and people coexist in remarkable balance. Spending time documenting it for Kenai Wild River Tours was a reminder that the best tourism campaigns don’t sell activities. They invite people into a story.

“When I became a climber, I used to find falling scary, even on sport climbs. It’s like my brain was running a physical engine that only computed what would happen without a rope. It took years to overcome that fear, and sometimes it tries to creep its way back in. Knowing there’s a solid rope between you and oblivion helps alleviate that.”

— Photographer & Athlete

Climbing is a strange relationship with trust.

You trust your partner.
You trust the bolts.
But mostly—you trust the rope.

Every fall we took in Chattanooga reminded us why ropes matter. Modern dynamic ropes are built to stretch, absorb force, and reduce the shock of a fall, turning what could be catastrophic into just another moment in the day.

That invisible engineering is the difference between fear and freedom on the wall.

Which is why when we test ropes, we don’t hold back.

Because if there’s one thing climbers know…
it’s that the rope is the last word.
