As a climber going through college, it didn't take much extra thought to expand the usual homework assignments to correspond with climbing and make things much more interesting. In this two part series, I am going to share two pieces that I wrote for my junior year technical writing course (I know, as soon as I heard "technical writing" I thought about climbing).
This first instruction set discusses some techniques labeled "advanced" due to the original audience of the piece: my non-climbing professor. However, part of the reason that I like climbing is that there are a lot of different ways to solve the same problem. So I am posting this to show one way I tend to do things at a normal sport climbing crag. Hopefully you will also find it interesting and informative!
Please excuse (while digesting) the repetitive "Danger" box. That marks the bottom of each page of the report.
To reiterate again...this is no substitute for actually learning how to do this stuff.
Climb at your own risk :)
