Dear Climbers and Boulderers,

As part of a research project at the University of Bayreuth, I am conducting a study on the process of developing climbing and bouldering routes worldwide. By participating in this survey, you will contribute valuable insights toward understanding and comparing the approaches of route developers across different regions, along with various other related aspects.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary, and you may exit the survey at any time. However, we would greatly appreciate it if you could complete the entire survey. Some questions pertain to your personal experiences – there are no right or wrong answers.

If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at jan.menzel@uni-bayreuth.de.

Thank you again very much for your support and for sharing your experiences!

Best regards,
Jan Menzel
