| 2024-05-25 21:22 | Traverse (climbing) (Section of lateral movement on a climbing route) | In climbing and mountaineering, a traverse is a section of a climbing route where the climber moves laterally (or horizontally), as opposed to in an upward direction. The term has broad application, and its use can range from describing a brief section of lateral movement on a pitch of a climbing route, to large multi-pitch climbing routes that almost entirely consist of lateral movement such as girdle traverses that span the entire rock face of a crag, to mountain traverses that span entire ridges connecting chains of mountain peaks. | Aszx5000 (talk) |

Traditionally sourced in climbing guidebooks, online databases and apps now provide detailed climbing beta. | Aszx5000 (talk) |
| 2024-06-10 20:40 | Grade (climbing) (Degree of difficulty of a climbing route) | Many climbing routes have a grade that reflects the technical difficulty—and in some cases the risks and commitment level—of the route. The first ascensionist can suggest a grade, but it will be amended to reflect the consensus view of subsequent ascents. While many countries with a strong tradition of climbing developed grading systems, a small number of grading systems have become internationally dominant for each type of climbing, which has contributed to the standardization of grades worldwide. | Aszx5000 (talk) |
