The Idea...
So it goes a little something like this:
The website is going to be called Beta: All About the Climbing Basics. If the title wasn't self explanatory enough it is going to be a website dedicated to all of the climbing newbies and beginners and will have information on climbing history, tips about gear and how it works, the different niches in climbing, and some common climbing phrases so that you can at least sound like a real rock climber; and trust me that is a big confidence boost. You may not be able to climb that 5.8 slab runner on the arete yet, but you will be able to curse it in proper technical fashion.
The Execution...
Overall, I am really psyched about this project and I am hoping to use it in a loving partnership with this blog and experience an increase readership, fame, fortune, and glory. Realistically, this site should be looking at rough/"I have to turn this in for a grade right now" completion around mid to late October, but I have no idea how rough it is going to be so the best I can estimate is that I should have a working, albeit possibly not very beautiful, site by November. Honestly, I am so excited that I don't even care when it is going to be finished, but that I am going to have the amazing opportunity to make it. So wish me luck and if you have any suggestions as to what you would like to see on the site as a beginning climber then please, please feel free to send me the ideas. If I get enough maybe I will put together a thank you page for all of the people who contributed their ideas. Okay, enough gushing for one day and I hope that you are all out there lovin' on some rocks for me while I am stuck inside trying to become more intelligent.
