I consider your status as a climber to be an indicator of, and determined by, your climbing level. It is a label for how hard you climb. If you climb... 5.8 and lower = BEGINNER 5.9-5.11b = INTERMEDIATE 5.11c-5.13b = ADVANCED 5.13c on up = EXPERT In other words, it is a level at which you are at. If you climbed 5.10's from day 1, you were never at the beginner level. You climbed a higher level than that since the day you started. Hahaha Falze.
A true climbing expert would really have such a massive list.. i don't even think the likes of Lynn hill could be considered.
- Expert in training concepts (including musculoskeletal system and all things of that nature like movement etc)
- Expert in implementing the above knowledge so that it allows them to climb at the peak of their own human limit. That would include any style of climbing and rock.
- Expert in training concepts to prevent or rehabilitate injury's.
- Expert in nutrition.
- Expert in mental discipline's, psychology etc (for fear management).
- Expert in all climbing related gear.
- Expert in rock reading (not that theirs a class for it) for the likes of avoiding death breaking holds in free solo.
- Expert in keeping the significant other half happy as one chases selfish ambition.
Probably more to add... but no matter, since 99% of us cant even tick off more than 2 of those above.
