Defining Climbing Nerd Levels

How to put an objective measure on a subjective rating? I am a nerd and I climb; therefore, I am a climbing nerd. But there are oh so many shades of climbing nerdiness, and the subject I include in this blog will appeal to climbing nerds of all levels. Here's my shot at a rating system:

  • Climbing Nerd Level 0- Math class is soooo hard! How do you spell fiziks anyway?
  • Climbing Nerd Level 1- I climb, and I want to live. It would probably make sense to learn a little more about the systems that I use to attach myself to the world.
  • Climbing Nerd Level 2- Wow, I guess physics really does have a practical application, and I secretly enjoy the greek letters and equations, even when I don't entirely understand what they mean.
  • Climbing Nerd Level 3- Physics rocks! I'm going to buy my own dynamometer to double-check these findings.

Enjoy!
