Alright, now that you've added everything up, go ahead and see which category you fall in. Make sure you read all the categories, though. Not only are they witty, but they will also enlighten you to what skills you will need in your climbing future, as well as provide an opportunity to reminisce about your climbing past.

Scores of 10-15: You’ve either just started climbing (welcome!) or you’ve made little progress since you’ve started. Chin up! You should look for somebody who is good with beginners, and can show you how to do a few things, and safely. Some are happy staying in this elite unique group of climbers. Remember, why climb if you’re not having fun.

Scores of 16-30: You’re improving your skills and your confidence on the rope. If you’ve just started and are progressing quickly, you need a partner who is as enthusiastic as you are about climbing. On my last climbing trip I heard rumors that Richard Simmons had taken up climbing. If you’re lucky, he’s looking for a partner too. At any rate, anybody with an equal level of energy will be great for you. If you’ve been climbing for years and still earned a score in this points range, you will probably quit climbing for good soon. The climbing community will miss you. We’re sorry climbing wasn’t for you.

Scores of 31-45: Climbers who fall in this range are likely just getting over their crush on Chris Sharma, and have either moved on to Sonnie Trotter, or just realized that that kind of idolatry is silly. You’re well on your way to being a grizzly trad master.

Scores of 46-60: This is a pivotal point in a climber’s evolution. It’s around this time/points range/skill set that climbers, if they are going to, develop elitism. Don’t do it! This will have two likely outcomes. The first: it will make it even harder to find a climbing partner. The second: if you do find a climbing partner, he will be equally dickish, and you’ll likely taint the atmosphere at the crag you’re climbing at. Nobody likes this. You probably won't even like yourselves.

Scores of 61-75: This is a stage that few people make it to. You will honestly have a hard time finding partners with equal climbing ethos and skills, as climbers in this range and higher tend to be very monogamous and are very faithful to their climbing partners; many in this category have had the same climbing partner for over 10 years. You may have to settle for a climber in a lower category. “Settle” may not be the right word… Adopt?

Scores of 76-100: You are the best of the best of the best. You probably climb with your husband Tommy, or your wife Beth. If that's not you, than you have either been climbing longer than many climbers have been alive, or you’re one of those genetic freaks who progress rapidly, AND had the drive to built your skills at an equal rate. We call call these people 'overachievers'. In all likelihood, you will have trouble finding a partner with skills equivalent to yours. This lack of a climbing partner is an opportunity: truly benevolent climbers in this category may decide to take a lesser climber “under their wing”. The author may be such a choice for you... please.
