  1. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 06:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC) 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.[reply]
  2. User:Rwxrwxrwx 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. Rwxrwxrwx 11:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Robogymnast - I have been climbing on and off for a couple years, mostly indoors around Boston, and have only recently started to get into it more seriously and am trying to take in all of the information about it that I can.
  4. Captain panda In vino veritas 21:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC) I recently started to climb, and I like it. I want to help to improve articles about climbing since I like it.[reply]
  5. Codenametiger
  6. Rhorn 00:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC) I was the one that contributed this group's image. I'm surprised I didn't find out about this group until just now! Well, I'm in. I've been climbing for about four or five years now.[reply]
  7. User:Jnoring - I've been climbing for about ten years, mostly in Utah, Colorado, Nevada, California and Oregon. My main interests include sport climbing and bouldering, and to a lesser extent, traditional climbing. I also really enjoy a good gym session (yes, it's surprising: some of us actually like plastic) :)
  8. User:Kevin1243. Been climbing for a couple of years in Australia. Currently rewriting the web site for the Climbing Club of South Australia.
  9. User:JRWalko - Alps, Carpathians, and the humble Appalachians! Well that rhymes and I'd just like to help improve some of these articles which are really in dire need of a some extra rope (if you know what I mean).
  10. Jonas79 - Climbing for two years. Main interest is Sport Climbing, but I also do some bouldering in Kjugekull. I would like to see some focus on Climbing Movies and Climbing Areas in this project. I have started a page about the 1978 climbing classic El Capitan.
  11. User:parisftoast New on a competitive rock climbing team. Loving every second of climbing, loves bouldering, and just learned how to lead. I'm addicted.
  12. Nk.sheridan   Talk 23:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC) - I do a bit of trad rock nothing serious and like my scottish winter stuff (I/II).[reply]
  13. Clueless (talk) 14:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC) - 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![reply]
  14. Subflux
  15. Don't do much real climbing myself these days since I got old and sensible, but I'm still interested. Main interest is the history of Himalayan mountaineering, but I'm probably good for some aspects of British rock climbing as well. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 20:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Jkasd I top-rope and boulder, both inside and outside. Like Clueless, I'd love to see the state of our climbing articles improve.
  17. User:Candlewicke (talk), stumbled upon this in the wake of the August 2008 K2 climbing accident. Edits to that article and the main K2 article plus if I'm not beaten to it (which seems unlikely now) the intention of creating Ger McDonnell, the first Irish person to reach the summit. Not a main area of interest but hope to make some useful contributions.
  18. Jarhed (talk) 22:22, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  19. User:Cullen328 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. Jim Heaphy (talk) 23:25, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  20. LopsideI boulder more or less exclusively, about v7, and am hugely interested in improving the quality of wikipedia's climbing project. Particularly, I'm interested in consolidating articles and bringing down the number of orphans.Lopside (talk) 19:00, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

Bimonthly focus

In December 2006 this project has began choosing articles for participants aid in improving to feature article status. New articles should be chosen roughly every two weeks. To be notified when article changes choose to watch the page Template:Climb Collaboration Current which is changed when a new article is selected. New Proposed Articles can be added at any time.

Current article

See also Focus Archive

How to change current article

  1. Remove the {{Climb Collaboration}} tag from the previous article.
  2. Change the article name on the {{Climb Collaboration Current}} template.
  3. Place a {{Climb Collaboration}} tag on the new article.
  4. Move Curent Article text from this page to Focus Archive.

Naming conventions

Further information: Wikipedia:Naming conventions

Mountains

Articles should be named according to the most common name for a mountain. If alternate names exist, mention them in the article and create redirects for them to prevent duplicate articles. "Mount" will always be expanded in the article name. For example, Mount Logan and not [[Mt. Logan]]. A redirect for "Mt. <name>" should be created to prevent duplicate articles.

If a mountain name is not unique, the convention is to create a disambiguation page for the mountain. Then, all mountains by that name will be disambiguated by putting the political division name of the mountain in parenthesis after the mountain name. For example, Mount Columbia exists in both Alberta, Canada and Colorado, United States. The disambiguated pages are subsequently named: Mount Columbia (Alberta) and Mount Columbia (Colorado).

Some mountains/peaks have the same name in the same political division. For example, Granite Peak has been given to over 40 peaks in the United States alone with it existing multiple times within certain states. In this case, the naming convention is to add a distinguishing sub-classification of the political division. For example, in the United States, one would also add the county name: e.g. Brown Peak (Kern County, California). When this situation occurs as it does for Granite Peak and Brown Peak, the standard infobox template will not be used. Instead, a table listing the peak names and unique geographical information will be used. See Granite Peak and Brown Peak for examples of this table. In the case of US mountains, the USGS GNIS link should be maintained within the table and if an article is created for a peak, the USGS GNIS link should be replaced with the wiki link to the new article.

Routes

Route articles should be named according to the name given at first ascent of the route. In the case of duplicate route names, the grade of the route shall be included, using the most popular grading system of that region. In the case of European routes, this will be the French system. For North American routes, this will be the Yosemite Decimal System. For bouldering routes, North American entries will use the Hueco "V" system, European entries will use the Fontainebleau system. In case of two routes with duplicate names and grades, a disambiguation page will be created with further information about the routes.

Article structure

Menschen

A template will provide a common set of features on a climbing topic organized into a consistent format. The template will include an infobox, that contains the following attributes:

  • Name
  • Birth-Death
  • Birthplace
  • Type of climber (trad, boulder, free solo etc.)
  • First Ascents (notable)
  • Named Routes (notable)
  • Major Ascents
  • Sponsors/Companies
  • picture(s) and caption. The caption should include month and year if known.
  • Highest grade climbed

The body of the article should try to provide the following information:

  • history of the climber, including birth and death
  • Major ascents, including first ascents
  • Any sponsorships or major corporations worked for
  • Personal information
  • Information on equipment and protection
  • Any notable media appearances

After creating an article, categorize it into the appropriate category. Do not forget to add it to List of climbing topics and List of first ascents where applicable.

Categorization

The parent category is Category:Climbing

Menschen

Climbers are categorized in Category:Mountain climbers by nationality, or if unknown, in Category:Mountain climbers. Other appropriate categories include Category:Summiters of Mount Everest, Category:Climbers, Category:Mountaineering.

Mountains

If an article is added to the project, please also add it to one of the mountain categories: e.g. Category:Mountains of Canada, Category:Mountains of France, Category:Mountains of the United States. Also consider adding a link to the article to the appropriate list article, such as List of mountains of the United States, Canada, etc.

If a country specific mountains category does not exist, then add it to one of the continent specific categories such as Category:Mountains of Europe or Category:Mountains of Asia. If those are not applicable, then add it to Category:Mountains. For a country that does not have a specific category yet, the general rule is to create a category for the country only when the number of existing mountain articles is five or more.

Templates

Terminology and Grades

Having noticed several redundant explanations of various climbing terms, I added a climbing terms template (use this tag: {{Climbing Terms}}) and strongly suggest it be added to the beginning of climbing articles. I similarly think we need a climbing grade template, or perhaps should add a climbing grades section to the terms article, or perhaps merely a referral to the grade articles from within the terms article. Almost all of the existing articles concerning specific climbers use climbing grades that no lay-person could possibly be familiar with, so a template might drastically improve the readability of these. More generally speaking, I'd really like to eliminate as much redundancy from the climbing articles as possible, and this seems like a very convenient place to begin. Lopside (talk) 19:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Climbing

To add this template, type {{Climbing}} to the article's talk page. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 07:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Climbing

Template:Infobox Mountain

There is one infobox that makes any mountain infobox: {{Infobox Mountain}}. See an example, right, of the use of the template. This template has three required parameters:

  • Name
  • Elevation (metric units first, but Imperial units first for peaks in the USA
  • Location (State/Province, then country).

It has many optional parameters:

  • Photo (filename, no need for "Image:")
  • Caption (only if there is a photo)
  • Range (if applicable)
  • Prominence (if known)
  • Coordinates (for use with {{coord}}
  • Topographic map (map authority, map name)
  • Type (see List of mountain types)
  • Age (of rock)
  • Last eruption (if volcano, last major eruption, not steam)
  • First ascent (if not a hike-up mountain, year and members of expedition)
  • Easiest route
  • Grid_ref_uk
  • Grid_ref_ireland
  • Listing (if peak belongs to well-known list of hills, e.g., Munros)
  • Translation (if peak name is not English, it is good to provide a translation)
  • Language (if peak name is not English)
  • Pronunciation (if non-obvious)

Copy and paste a sample infobox from any of the following links to get started:

The previous multi-template is now deprecated.

Mountain template

Talk pages of articles about mountains are encouraged to use {{Mountain}}. The talk pages that do use this template are at Pages linking to Mountain. A sorted list of these pages is at List of mountains.
