Merge with Simul climbing
editI think this should be merged with simul climbing, of which rope team is really a sub-topic of. In fact, I have never been clear where one stops and the other starts? Both are unreferenced so need fixing. Aszx5000 (talk) 20:06, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
- My only comment is that rope team is a common term whereas simul climbing doesn't even register on Ngram Viewer so is not well known and could be slang. It'd be worth finding out what the majority of reliable book sources call it.Bermicourt (talk) 08:22, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- "Simul climbing" is a real term worldwide in climbing (e.g. here is the biggest climbing magazine, Climbing, with an article Advanced Climbing Techniques: Simul-Climbing and Short-Fixing). There are many more (plus every book on alpine climbing will have a section on simul climbing). "Rope team" is a more generic term but then Climbing also have an article titled: Traveling on a Rope Team. The problem is that they often get used for the same thing - moving together attached by a rope. If I was to clean up these two articles, much of the text would be similar, and hence my dilemma?Aszx5000 (talk) 09:04, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
