Climbing data

I'm doing a school project and I need some data for evidence. It would be awesome if you could take five minutes to fill out this form.

Sweet another one for the collection

You asked for the hardest grade I can usually climb but then the answers were in V grades. Lost me there.

Yeah that was a bit weird. Many people don't boulder in the gym. I'd recommend offering V grades and/or YDS grades.

Sorry, this form was originally made for gym gumbys. I'll change it.

Please stop putting in weird answers, you're not climbing V347. It sways the data and makes my life harder.

This survey is pretty crap. You don't specify what you want for anything. "What is the hardest you onsight?" It really depends where I am climbing, and what style of climbing. Onsighting a sport route on good granite is very different than onsighting a trad route in the middle of nowhere. 

What type of class is this for?

What types of ideas/  hypotheses are you trying to flush out with the data?

Not all gumbys climb in gyms...

Oh boy, please have your teacher comment on this forum.  S/he has clearly not taught anything about survey research.

Don’t listen to these guys, props to you for trying and good data collection is only learned through experience

Ask mountainproject questions expect mountainproject answers.

Exactly!   My boss keeps arguing with me on this though…

You should consider avoiding free response questions for that reason.  Plus, having fixed responses makes the analysis and sorting much easier.  How hates Content Analysis?  (me...)

I tried multiple choice but people got confused.
