I scored a lowly 6

2 for me, I should get out more. Reminds me of a multiple choice physics exam I did, where I'd've been better off marking 'A' for everything and going home.

Same. Although the final one was wrong, as in the UK most climbing holds are PE, but I figured from the previous 11 questions that it was US based. For some reason the US prefers the sweatier, faster-polishing PU.

Pah! Some of those questions were stupidly hard... Like looking at a red car and saying is the colour sunset red, blush or flaming rose.

[Fiend]

What? It's all US shit. Whatever. Next.

Likewise

[jwi]

9/12 but I had more than one guess that went the right way

This.

I haven't heard of most of those crags.

[SA Chris]

And that's a failing of you or the quiz?

[andy_e]

Quite difficult identifying rocks when they're not in your hand/in front of your face.

[Fiend]

It's a failing of the person who posted a US-centric quiz on a UK bouldering forum, whoever that was.

[SA Chris]

It's from climbing.com FFS, what did you expect? Them to ask you to identify different rocks from the Culm coast?

[Fiend]

I was hoping for "Identify Rock Types Of The Lleyn Peninsula By Analysing How Many Holds You Pull Off (With Bonus Points For Highlighting How Many Rock Names In North Wales Rock Are Completely Made Up"....

[SA Chris]

You mean weetabixolite isn't a real name?

[AndyR]

You mean weetabixolite isn't a real name?

Fubarite is the accepted name...

I thought the Lleyn was welshite?
