Let me start by saying that Buzzfeed is not my friend. It’s not the quizzes and wild articles that turn me off. I actually like the quizzes, and who doesn’t want to know what happened to cast of Saved by the Bell? ‘Rugrats all grown up?’ Yes! ‘What kind of marsupial am I?’ I’d kind of like to know that too! All those things are engaging, fun, and silly. For those reasons, I really look up to what the Buzzfeed team does. My problem with Buzzfeed, is the clickbaitiness of their links, and click through style of their articles. I get that Buzzfeed makes money off clicks, and they have the formula to get the clicks. They know that readers want/need to know what happened to Mr. Belding after leaving Bayside. But using that power for clicks is annoying.
That being said, we’ve used the Buzzfeed formula before to help readers determine what kind of climbing-hold they are. We did it without all the clickbaitiness, and extra links. We take the good and leave the bad! And now it’s time to do it again. Only this time we’re here to help you figure out what climbing route you are!
So, lace up your climbing shoes and chalk up your hands, because it’s time to find out which rock-climbing route matches your personality! Answer these questions to determine the perfect climb that aligns with your nature and rock-climbing style. If you aren’t exactly a climber, still take the quiz, it will be fun to know via our accurate scientific approach what your spirit route would be!

Loaded up on the D’s for sure, that is awesome! I’ve taken it a couple times it seems that there should be another option of indecision, because I’ve picked different choices almost every time.

Indecision — You have more skills than I ever had. That would complicate your choices. 🤣
