 * 1)  I'm founding this wikiproject to improve the quality of climbing related articles. I got hooked on climbing this year, and I hope to make Wikipedia the ultimate source of knowledge for rock climbing! My areas of interest are primarily in bouldering and buildering, although I'm looking to get into some trad and sport climbing.  &rArr;    SWAT Jester    Ready    Aim    Fire!  06:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * 2)  I've written a few articles on major rock-climbing crags in Ireland (see for example Dalkey Quarry, Ailladie, Luggala), and have others in my sights. What do people think of the general style of those articles? I've been rock-climbing (at the middle grades) for over 20 years, but have no big-mountain experience.

 * 3)  I recently started to climb, and I like it. I want to help to improve articles about climbing since I like it.  Captain panda   In   vino   veritas  21:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 4)  I'm a beginner who's been climbing for about a year.  I've recently reorganized a few of the climbing articles, but they're still messy and missing citations.  I'd love to see (and help) them improve! Clueless (talk) 14:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5)  I started climbing in 1976, and mostly did alpine mountaineering in California's High Sierra.  I don't do challenging climbs much these days but did the West Face Gully on Mt. Shasta in 2007 at age 55, and I am hiking the Mt. Whitney trail in 2 weeks.  I have a deep interest in mountaineering history, especially regarding California and the Himalaya, and recently wrote a bio of Jules Eichorn, and am in the process of revising a poor article about Norman Clyde.  I also uploaded a photo of Arlene Blum that I took of her before her Annapurna expedition.  Comments would be welcomed.  I've collected mountaineering books for many years, and own many Everest books, for example. As suggested on this page, I've written an article about Allen Steck.

 * 7)  I have been climbing for a few years. I am interested mainly in sport climbing indoors. Cj005257
 * 8)  I love endurance sports and I have an extreme infatuation for climbing although I never made any serious ascents. I cycle excessively, but my passion for mountaineering is such that I read book after book. I edited a lot of articles already. Feel free to contact me if you have a particular project, for now, I would like to reference the list of climbers article, and it is gonna be a huge task, so help would be appreciated.

 * 9)  I had my first taste of climbing a substantial mountain not long ago (Mount William in VIC Australia), and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have since committed myself to climbing Everest one day, so what better way to learn everything I need to know than by taking a hands on approach to researching and contributing on Wikipedia?
