Yards seems like a fair compromise.

For the sake of accuracy, I say we use planck lengths.

Awesome banter aside, I agree. Let's start the movement to get the U.S. to stop using the imperial system. If the mountain project community can do that, then we nominate the top trolls for the presidency. Speaking of trolls...OP that was such a benign and succinct post! You wrapped it up and left no room for debate... (he said trollingly) Lebanon and Myanmar (Burma) can do whatever they want!

Jason both Myanmar and Liberia neither have the metric system nor have been to the moon.... it would make sense for us to get on board this whole measuring distance as a factor of 1/10,000,000th of the distance from the equator to the north pole, are yards used anywhere except a football field and measuring a pile of mulch?

i was paging through a climbing guide in the shop the other day and it was in meters. Although it might have been a book for somewhere in Canada... We can only hope. Maybe authors would be nice enough to start by listing both. I'm sure users will see the obvious usefulness of seeing that 30 is indeed half of 60.

Heights listed in feet are much more impressive, with no more effort. Work smarter, not harder.
