Here goes: Climbing FONSFAQ

Frequently (Or Not So Frequently) Asked Questions About Climbing

How it works (wording stolen from crossedwires):

-- ask questions/leave prompts about anything climbing-related in the comments; please put 'prompt: [your prompt]' in the subject line

-- claim prompts or make up your own climbing topics you would like to write about for 'Three weeks for Dreamwidth'; please put 'claimed: [your claim]' in the subject line

-answer in the comments or provide a link to your post

-- fonsfaq is a comm created for fonsfaq answers if you'd rather not answer in your own journal

ETA: I don't see any reason why multiple people can't "claim" a prompt and answer, especially as different people will have different advice and perspectives. So don't be afraid to jump in.

Topics so far:

I wonder if a set of "What's so good about ...?" articles for, e.g. trad, sport, bouldering, indoor climbing would be a good plan?

[rydra_wong]

Definitely, if people feel like writing them! You don't have to wait for a prompt, so if there's one of those topics that appeals to you, just claim it.

Is correct form to post answers to the community, or to post to my own journal and link to that?

[rydra_wong]

Either is fine, but IMHO it'd be really nice to have them in the comm, to encourage more posting and commenting here.

Prompts (and 1 claim)

[emperor]

Cool, I shall suggest the following prompts:

"What's so good about bouldering?"
"What's so good about sport climbing?"
"What's so good about indoor climbing?"
"What's so good about trad climbing?"
"What's so good about ice climbing?"

And claim "What's so good about trad climbing?", in the next few days...
