Climbing trivia - a fun way to learn

i looked up the mexican food question (see above) and couldnt find it. im going to guess: idaho? good one.

the royal robbins and harding tahquitz question is great. i "googled" the shit out of the two but all i ever read on any link was about their competition. great queation! i dont know. is "open book" the route? total guess.

paul preusses hardest solo ascents have been assessed in the 5.7/5.8 YDS range. i didnt find a clear statement but im going to throw out the north face of planspitze?

3 rules of mountaineering (good/fun one): its always farther than it looks, its always taller than it looks and its always harder than it looks.

I used to have a web page with a dozen or so climbing trivia quizes, several hundred questions in all. I shut it down in 2005 because it was a headache to maintain.

Here is an amusing question from the US Rock Climbing quiz:
Which of the following is a real person, the son of a famous climber?
Royal Croft, Reinhold Twight, Layton Bridwell or Yvon Kauk
