Here are your responses ending with those of the 14 experts surveyed for this thesis.
Thank you for contributing. "Generally they have more strength and a better idea of movement, but they don't have an awareness of rock-fall or other hazards such as weather, anchors, and belaying." -Nancy Feagan "We have determined that there are two sets of distinct skills related to climbing. One is the physical technique, i.e., how you use your hands and feet. The other set of skills is the safety systems and how we use the ropes, anchors, hardware, and helmets to minimize the risk. In artificial climbing, all you can really work on is the physical aspect of climbing, improving technique and climbing harder grades. You can't learn how to run the rope out, make decisions about route-finding, or how to place nuts." -Randy Grandstaff.
