Requirements for multi pitch tick

I think of it like a photo album. Except...it will disappear forever if MP goes offline.

It's like notches on your belt...that's something for you to determine. And it's climbing. Have fun. I don't even keep up my tic list anymore, I just climb and ski when and where I can.

"Tick list" = routes to stay away from because they have lots of blood-sucking insects on them. See also "grassy ledges".

I only use the tick list for routes I have led, followed, French-freed or fallen/hung/thrashed on.

If I've done the route, and nobody fell (following, or leading), I consider that a "tick." I'm so old, I can't usually remember who led what pitches, and don't usually care either. My partner and I usually lead the stuff that the other one can't, or won't.

Smokey this is not 'Nam, this is climbing. There are rules!
