• Grammar: Please use correct grammar and punctuation in climb descriptions, including correct use of capitals and proper sentences. Avoid txt style abbreviations. Remember it will be published in a book.
• *CapitilisationCapitalisation:  * Headings and climb names should be capitalised in Title Case.
• Punctuation: always place 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.
• Note - no brackets at all, use a dot after the pitch number and a dot after the grade.
• Put each pitch on a new line.
• For climbs, include the first ascent in the FA box. For boulders, no FA is recorded.
• No "FA" text 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.
• *Abbreviations: *Abbreviations for L and R are ok but not mandatory. BR, FH & DBB are also ok.
• Arête has a circumflex on the e.
