Climber
* All climbers have thumbs high on their hands to go over branches more easily.
* Many climbers develop a hacking cough, dizziness, and insomnia
  - wear no socks with their climbing shoes
* Most Climbers bloom twice, once in the early summer and again in autumn.
* Most climbers have toes
  - thrive in the heat
* Most climbers use oxygen for climbing and sleeping
  - single ropes for climbing
* Some climbers bloom only in spring, some are repeat climbers
  - have large flowers, but true ramblers have clusters of small flowers
  - live in states
  - prefer more flexible ropes, because they're easier to tie
  - thrive on adrenaline rushes and personal achievement
* Some climbers use electric socks
  - gloves made out of athletic tape to protect their hands
* also manipulate their center of mass by working their bodies away from the rock face.
  - chronically hypoxic, and they report that the skin of other climbers has a bluish cast
  - large flowering roses with thick, rigid canes
  - located in mountains
  - spiritual seekers
  - the most frequent cause of injury for children six and older
  - vines
* bloom best when they are trained to reach outward rather than grow only vertically.
* choose nylon ropes because they stretch and absorb the shock of a fall.
  - heads
  - human bodies
  - material bodies
* love their sport because it challenge, mentally and physically.
* need bottle oxygen
* often approach in winter when snow covers the brush
  - scrape moss, lichen, and other plant life from the cliff as they tie ropes to trees
* provide a road system in canopies for motile animals.
* scratch mountains with bare hands and feet.
* sleep in their sleeping bags, attached in their harnesses by rope to the rock
  - with their oxygen masks on
* suffer a loss of appetite and sleep and have constant headaches
  - injuries
  - serious injuries
* take about two growing seasons before they become established and start blooming.
* tend to have a lot of endurance and specifically developed muscles for long hard climbs.
* try to describe why they climb mountains.
+ Death zone: Atmosphere
  * The 'death zone' is the name used by mountain climbers for high altitude where there is not enough oxygen for humans to breathe. This is usually above 8,000 metres. Climbers have to carry oxygen bottles to be able to reach the top.
+ Space elevator, Structure, Climbers
  * Climbers cover a wide range of designs. On elevator designs whose cables are planar ribbons, most propose to use pairs of rollers to hold the cable with friction
  - Structure: Exploratory engineering :: Megastructures :: Space colonization :: Spacecraft propulsion :: Spaceflight technologies :: Vertical transport devices :: Space access :: Hypothetical technology :: Emerging technologies
  * There are a variety of space elevator designs. Almost every design includes a base station, a cable, climbers, and a counterweight. Earth's rotation creates upward centrifugal force on the counterweight. The counterweight is held down by the cable while the cable is held up and taut by the counterweight. The base station anchors the whole system to the surface of the Earth. Climbers climb up and down the cable with cargo

### person | athlete | climber:

Clematis
* Most clematis grow best in full sun and moist, well-drained soil.
* bloom on either last season' s growth or new growth.

Ice climber
* tackle numerous different types of ice climbing problems.
* use special equipment like ice axes, ropes and crampons to climb ice and glaciers
  - two essential tools to ascend ice crampons and ice axes
* wear helmets, without exception.
+ Ice climbing: Sports
  * They might climb on frozen waterfalls or large rocks covered with ice. Ice climbers use special equipment like ice axes, ropes and crampons to climb ice and glaciers.
