A0 - why does it have a seperate entry?

Aid Climbing -- says to see "Aid ratings" but there is no entry for "Aid ratings", either that should be written or the see also removed.

Belay - vb. (1) vb. -- the first "vb" should be deleted. (I assume "vb" is "verb both" -- being both transitive and intransitive".

Belay Monkey - missing the "n."

Campus - 2 - to rock climbing moves with... is not really English. Maybe "to perform rock climbing moves with..." or maybe just "to climb with... ".

Campus Board - "wrunged" should be "runged"

Chickenhead - are they only found in granite? Are they found in granite? I'd just simplify to: "A knobby feature resembling a chicken's head which provides excellent holds for hands or feet."

Clean - v. 1 v. -- remove the extra "v." at the start.
Additional definition 3. adj. to complete a climb or problem without hang-dogging or falling, especially on top-rope.

new definition:
Crash Pad - n. - Bouldering pad.

Crux - extra period "the most crucial.,"

Dihedral and Open Book should reference each other.

new definition:
Express - n. A Quickdraw. Two caribiners connected by webbing or rope. Usually used to link the rope to an element of protection. (European)

Flag. Second sentence should be re-written to start "Also refers to using feet..."

Gym - n modify to "a usually indoor...". I have climbed at gyms with outdoor, but still artificial, climbing. (e.g. Kletterzentrum Stuttgart - http://www.kletterzentrum-stuttgart.de/ in Germany which has a large outdoor climbing structure or Planet Granite (Sunnyvale) - http://www.planetgranite.com/sc/home_sc.html which has outdoor bouldering.)

Hexcentric "reffered" should be "referred" -- double r, single f, not double f, single r.

Locking Carabiner -- should be a comma after "screw gate" too.

Natural Protection -- I disagree with this definition (you may wish to find concensus), but had always understand "natural" protection to be things like trees, roots, horns, etc where you just used a sling around it, rather than placing a piece.

Open Book - should see also dihedral.

Problem - n. A bouldering route.

Quickdraw - Two carabiners connected by webbing (usually) or rope. Use to link elements of protection or, more commonly, to link the rope to a piece of protection.

Sandbag - delete the extra "rating" in the sentence. "A climb that receives an inappropriately low rating for the difficulty."

Top Rope - last sentence, "In general this results in shorter falls than a lead." would probably be clearer.

I noticed that "ring lock" is not in there. Something to the effect of "a jam for a crack that is wider than fingers and narrower than hands. Involved bridging the crack with the thumb, and stacking the fingers on top of the thumb."

Also, you may want to add to the definition of "Stack." In addition to a finger stack, you can stack hand and fist jams together with two hands for offwidth cracks.

What about the hand-knee stack?
You can't forget the hand-knee stack.

OK...

Tea-Bag: n. when the leader falls, pulls the belayer up in the air, and makes contact with the belayer.

I think you should add 'Punter'

Someone who doesn't really know what they are doing in the climbing environment. Most commonly used as a jokey insult.

Some more definitions that might be helpful:

Splitter Crack - ?
Pig - haul bag for big walls?


I don't have clear definitions for these -- was looking for them in the dictionary.

I think Bombay or Bomb bay or what ever it is, (I've seen both in climbing mags recently) Should be added.

I don't know what it is though. I think its some kind of feature in a crack?

Cold shut. n. a type of fixed anchor with a wire-gate on the top.
