The Climbing Move "Bible"

How many moves?

Ok, so we're not claiming this a complete list of moves.  You may know some more, or have even invented some yourself. If you want to add to the list, contact us, but please only include moves which actually help you up a climb - we already know plenty of others which don't help at all.
