As part of my degree I'm carrying out a research topic looking at why there are so few female winter climbers. Please help me with this by completing this short questionnaire http://tolu.na/ShD1js
There's only 12 questions and it should take about 5 min to complete.
Thanks for your help!
Done. I'm not sure the answers given by a fat old punter who only leaves the house in the spring sunshine and returns when the first winds of autumn blow is going to help your project...sorry.
In reply to Toreador: Surprisingly it is valid. According to the Mountaineering Council of Scotland's most recent member survey less than 50% of women who climb in summer also climb in winter. I think it's interesting to know why this is.

In reply to Bulls Crack: The actual figures from the MCofS are: 25% of female members trad climb, and 11% of female members winter climb. For men, 39% trad climb and 29% winter climb.

Getting off thread here, but if only 39% of male MCofS members trad climb what the hell else do the other 61% do to the total exclusion of trad climbing?
