Data on outdoor climbing

Hi! I am a student and climber from the University of Texas at Austin working on a project for my statistics course! I will be analysising data about climbers and the max grades they’ve climbed outdoors! If you wouldn’t mind taking a few minutes to fill out this form. Data is collected anonymously. I need at least 100 data points so please share with friends!

You might benefit from specifying "redpoint" in the "hardest outdoor climb" questions. That's how I took the question, at least.

Best of luck with the proj! I had fun calculating the lifetime outdoor climbing days question.

Anyone have suggestions on where to find similar previously collected data? 

Ha! Number of days I've climbed outdoors (ballpark). 4,000+.

You lucky basterd! I have been climbing for 30+ years but guesstimate only 1000+ days of climbing.

So you could tell people "I've been climbing for eleven years ... straight."

Just to be clear, that number includes 2x weekly, sometimes 3, afternoon bouldering sessions for years, plus every weekend, long weekends, lots of vacation time, etc. I was lucky to be employed in a role that gave me lots of time and flexibility so long as the workplace I oversaw was running smoothly, and I made damned sure that it did. If the last 15 years had been better for me health-wise I would have posted a bigger number. But now, after getting kicked to the curb for a while, I'm enjoying a period of recovery, and have been doing some climbing again. Berg Heil!

There was an interesting episode on The Nugget podcast with a couple of climbing coaches who had collected some similar data (max grade, days out, etc):

I believe you have misspelled "You're going to die" on multiple occasions ;-)

Is this a serious question? You are literally on a website that was designed for people to publicly catalog all the routes they've climbed.

Getting bulk data from MP is not easy without being able to write a webscraper. The API was deprecated years ago

For me, my log is more about being more mindful of the training i do and not really tracking progress. I really focus on how i felt during training and i always write only the positive things, but never lie to myself. For example if i felt weak during training i try to find something positive : "i felt weak during training, but i tried suuuper hard, i thought a few times that i have fallen but somehow i didn't. I am really good at trying hard!". That's more about trying to build up my confidence and really helped. I knew about it from the book mastermind, so if someone wants to know more, can read that one. I recommend it!

Au contraire: Back in the days of Charlemagne, the locals were fond of saying this to siege noobs who asked people to critique their castle wall ladder solo setup. But I guess standards were different back then ... people actually wanted to beknighted.

I dunno. If you are producing an analysis, seems to me that what you do to produce it could very well be analysising??

English is kinda dumb spelling and grammerwise, and arbitrary and changeable anyways, sorta like climbing, amiwrite? 

And we'd never get all fired up over that, now, amiright?

Bestest, Haych.
