Recently, 28 of us on the Stanford Climbing Team completed a short survey on our climbing abilities. Although the survey was intended to assess our interest in different clinics, the answers to the survey question also shed light on some interesting climbing questions, like how bouldering grades compare to top-rope grades, how much harder leading is than top-roping, and what different "climber types" there are. These questions really excited me, so I asked for permission to analyze this data, which the team graciously granted.
