The following points give tips on how to write consistent text and route descriptions.

• Dates: Standard format is the abbreviated month with the full year. e.g. Jun 1974 or Dec 2007.
• Punctuation: always a space after fullstop, comma, colon or semi-colon, but never before.
• Spacing: only ever a single space. No blank lines.
• No space between the number and "m" or "km" where its a length eg "123m" not "123 m"
• Try to keep line breaks to a minimum, as they chew up space. But line breaks in a multi pitch climb are OK, they make it much more readable.
• For multipitch, the format is:
  1) 30m 18. Blah.
  2) 25m 26. Blah blah.
• No "FA" is needed, just the name and date of the first ascensionist. FFA is ok in that case. Full names are preferred if available, otherwise like "J. Nermut" with a space after the full stop.
• Dates: Standard format is the 3 letter abbreviated month (with no full stop) with the full year. e.g. Jun 1974 or Dec 2007. Full stop at the end of the FA info.

Here is an example climb in the correct style:
