# Climbing

> What I've learned on my journey as a climber.

Climbing is my primary activity for exercise. I climb 2-3 times a week for 1.5-2 hours each session. 

Currently I climb top rope and auto belay at around a 5.11+ grade. 

# Terminology 

## General Terminology
- **beta** - tips or additional information about a route or problem that you didn't figure out on your own. 
- **volume** - a big, often triangular,  structure that's bolted onto an indoor wall. They're often used to create bump outs from the wall to increase the challenge of a route or problem

## Climbing Styles
### Top Rope
### Lead - Sport
### Lead - Traditional (Trad)
### Bouldering

## Completion

There are four ways to successfully finish a climb that I hear used:

- Onsight
- Flash
- Red Point
- Go

## Onsight

**Onsight** is a successful first ascent without any beta. You can only onsight a route or problem once. 

## Flash

**Flashing** a route or problem is a successful first attempt with some beta. You can only flash a route or problem once. 

## Red Point 

A **Red Point** climb is a successful ascent after one or more attempts without falling or resting. You can red point a route or problem multiple times. 

## Go

A **Go** is when the climber climbs to the top with one or more rests or falls. You can go a route or problem multiple times.
