The Climbing Archive: So you want to learn
how to climb?
This is very poorly formatted on the website. Your eyes will cross trying
to read it. However, it is worth the time to download it so that you can

-- and select "Save Target as". Find the file on your computer
and open it with Word. It has a lot of valuable information for the wanna-be
climber, including statistics, organization names, terms, etc. Go
