if you climb in an area that has some set problems and theres 100s of potential problems down the ridge how do you go about setting them to get them in a topo?

First thing you need is a chisel, some glue and a really big hammer.
Maybe a chainsaw, too.

To the OP...
If you are asking, you probably are not good enough yet. Seek Yoda. Learn the force...

Step one: Understand your own intention from within
Step two: Make your own topo of the area
Step three and a half: Listen for the sound of one hand clapping

Agree with other posters....it is imperative that you realize the gravity of your undertaking a don't take it lightly.
For example, when doodling you topo, but sure to use napkins and a felt pen to maintain the aura of mystic of the area, be sure to add caveats to the topo such....highball dood or tricky route finding even if totally unapplicable. Such detail will be appreciated by your audience (or at least your mom)
Also - be sure and maintain a well-thought out consistency when naming problems on a shared bolder (I use little girls names, dont know why, just like the ring....I had suzy as a warm up, on janey you need to slap really hard then mantel on top of her, amy starts as a nice crack but then really opens up to fist stacks).
Also be sure to visit the local gym so you can make sure your grading is consistent will the local standard. You might find adding letters to the V system helpful (I have...:wink: ) V0a, V0b (a VOa that requires me to lift my shoe above my knee, etc.) One more hint on grading....one man's class 4 is another man's v5....in other words don't let your friends dissuade you from grading and naming (Sa-weet!) the trails in between bolders, letting all who travel them know you are the FA

I name all my problems "Stewart". If I see them in a guidebook and climb them, I rename them "Stewart".
You thought it was called "Midnight Lighting"? Nope, "Stewart", and I havn't even done Midnight Lightning. WHAT!
