The art of envisioning, bolting, cleaning, climbing a route as starting a discussion with others

" I see climbing as very "conversational" and the experiences of climbers and climbing is primarily shared with others by talking about it.

You can video, take photos, and try to capture the experience, but it really comes down to expressing ourselves through words.

I like the idea of someone climbing my route, then sitting down so we can talk about it…

Consolidare un appiglio con la resina ? Come ? (Se proprio si deve ... ;-)

Grading, credibility, old school, new generation

Alex Huber:



"And it was up to 1995 that „Action Directe“ was considered to be 8c+.

Since then grading became confuse and predominantly it had been created by the proposal of the grade 9b.

Ben Moon still was there and he tried to convince the community that the proposal of the grade 9b…

27cragsclimbervoice8a and many others are amazing sites, but sometimes, expecially if you worked a lot to envision, bolt, clean routes or boulders, you want to monetize a little your efforts.

9b can help you in this aim.

 

As you can see here, in 9b there are many " topo groups ".

 

You can add a discussion in every "topo group".

In your discussion you can edit and publish your own climbing topoguide, as a "paywall", a "destination page", requiring climbers their payment by credit card or paypal to access and read, even on SMARTPHONES (iphones, android phones, ...)

 

After having paid, climbers can see, save and print your climbing topoguide.

 

In this discussion you can add:

 

1) PHOTOS regarding one specific SECTOR (of routes or bouldering, dws lines)

 

a) "PHOTO topo":

It's very easy to edit a photo topo:

- upload a photo of a rock in a topo group discussion

- drawn the lines

- write names and grades (an example…
