As more climbing blogs proliferate, one thing driving me nuts is how so many posts are written on trip reports, climbing areas, and photos with no mention of the actual climbing location!

Please, fellow climbing bloggers consider to mention the area’s location in your post. No need to give directions or beta, just provide me with a frame of reference for what I’m reading.

I understand that many times post are written for an intended audience of those the climber knows personally; but trust me, with search engines and feeds, your readership is usually larger than you think.

The post What Climbing Area Are You Writing About? first appeared on All Climbing.

Here are a few of the new benefits readers of All Climbing will now see:

• The Intense Debate comment system enables conversations within the commenting section. Replies to other comments are indented at different levels to make it easier to follow the various conversations.
• Commenters can have profiles and avatars that are stored on a central server at Intense Debate. This profile can then be used across other blogs.
• Each user also has a reputation attached to their identity that is displayed whenever they make a comment. This is similar to what you see on sites like Digg.
