Climbing
Climbing is the activity of using one's hands, feet, or any other part of the body to ascend a steep topographical object that can range from the world's tallest mountains (e.g. the eight thousanders), to small boulders. Climbing is done for locomotion, sporting recreation, and for competition, and is also done in trades that rely on ascension; such as emergency rescue and military operations. Climbing is done indoors and outdoors and on natural (e.g. rock and ice) and artificial surfaces. Professional mountain guides or rock climbing guides (e.g. the UIAGM), were a significant element in developing the popularity of the sport in the natural environment, and remain so today. Since the 1980s, the development of competition climbing and the availability of artificial climbing walls have dramatically increased the popularity of rock climbing as a sport and led to the emergence of professional rock climbers, such as Wolfgang Güllich, Chris Sharma, Lynn Hill and Catherine ...

Climbing Swamp Mouse
Delany's mouse or Delany's swamp mouse (''Delanymys brooksi'') is a species of rodent in the family Nesomyidae. It is the only species in the genus ''Delanymys'' and the only extant member of subfamily Delanymyinae, which also contains the fossil genus '' Stenodontomys''. It was previously placed in subfamily Petromyscinae, but it is apparently not closely related to ''Petromyscus''. It is found in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland and swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... Classification In 2013, a robust muroid phylogeny found ''Delanymys'' sister to ''Mystromys'' + ''Petromyscus'', reviving the affinity of ''Delanymys'' to petromys ...

University of Florida Cooperative Extension, IFAS. 1999. is a species of fern in the wood fern family Dryopteridaceae. It has a wide distribution, mainly in the tropical Southern Hemisphere. Names Other common names include leathery shieldfern, iron fern, 7-weeks-fern,De Souza, G. C., et al.

Description Growing to tall and broad, ''Rumohra adiantiformis'' is a bushy, tufted evergreen plant with glossy dark green fronds. These contain round sori (reproductive clusters) on the underside of the pinnae (leaflets) unlike many other ferns which have separate specialized reproductive fronds. Many of the sori have protective peltate indusia (films), and prominent scales on the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Climbing Shell Vine
''Cochliasanthus caracalla'' is a leguminous flowering plant in the family Fabaceae that originates in tropical South America and Central America. The species is named ''caracalla'', a corruption of the Portuguese caracol, meaning snail. This perennial vine (when grown in a climate without frost) has fragrant flowers said to be reminiscent of hyacinths - with a distinctive curled shape, giving rise to the common names corkscrew vine, snail vine, snail creeper, snailflower or snail bean. It is the only member of the genus ''Cochliasanthus'' and was formerly considered to belong to the genus '' Vigna''. Two very different plant species are sold and cultivated under this one name. One plant is the true ''Cochliasanthus caracalla''. The other, also called "''Phaseolus giganteus''" (a horticultural name, not validly published), [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Climbing Salamander
Climbing salamanders is the common name for plethodontid (lungless) salamanders of the genus ''Aneides''. It contains 10 species native to North America, distributed between the Pacific Coast (7 species), Sacramento Mountains (1 species), and Appalachian Mountains (2 species). As their common name suggests, most of these species have prehensile tails and are quite mobile in trees. Taxonomy The green salamander (''A. aeneus'') and the Hickory Nut Gorge green salamander (''A. caryaensis'') are now considered to belong to their own subgenus '' Castaneides'', which diverged from the '' Aneides hardii'' lineage between 27.2 and 32.3 million years ago, during the Oligocene. ''Castaneides'' contains significant cryptic diversity and may contain more as-of-yet undescribed species. All other western ''Aneides'' including ''A. hardii'' are considered ''Aneides sensu stricto'', and belong to the subgenus of the same name. Distribution All ten known species in this genus inhabit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Arboreal Locomotion
Arboreal locomotion is the locomotion of animals in trees. In habitats in which trees are present, animals have evolved to move in them. Some animals may scale trees only occasionally, but others are exclusively arboreal. The habitats pose numerous mechanical challenges to animals moving through them and lead to a variety of anatomical, behavioral and ecological consequences as well as variations throughout different species.Cartmill, M. (1985). Climbing. In ''Functional Vertebrate Morphology'', eds. M. Hildebrand D. M. Bramble K. F. Liem and D. B. Wake, pp. 73–88. Cambridge: Belknap Press. Furthermore, many of these same principles may be applied to climbing without trees, such as on rock piles or mountains. Some animals are exclusively arboreal in habitat, such as the tree snail. Biomechanics Arboreal habitats pose numerous mechanical challenges to animals moving in them, which have been solved in diverse ways. These challenges include moving on narrow branches, mov ...

The Climb 2
''The Climb 2'' is a virtual reality platform game developed and published by Crytek. As the sequel to '' The Climb'' (2016), the game was released for Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2 on March 4, 2021. In the game, the player needs to climb different cliffs and skyscrapers. The game received generally positive reviews upon launch. Gameplay ''The Climb 2'' maintains the mechanics of the first game: players need to actively look around for handholds to traverse the environment, and maintain grip on a handhold with one hand while ascending to avoid falling - players can still use chalk to increase stamina, but the process is quicker than in the original game. The game features five biomes: Alps, Bay, Canyon and North are returning from the previous game, while City is a new, modern environment involving skyscrapers. Each zone has three distinct levels. Like in the previous episode, each level has shortcuts and branching paths that allow players to reach the top faster, as well as mor ...

The Climb (video Game)
''The Climb'' is a first-person virtual reality game, developed by Crytek and Oculus Studios. In it the player climbs cliffs in locations around the world. The game released for Microsoft Windows on April 28, 2016, while a Oculus Quest port was later released in 2019. A sequel, ''The Climb 2'', was released in 2021. Gameplay The player's task is to climb up to a summit using Oculus Touch, moving their hands to grab the next ledge. Both hands have independent stamina-meters, which deplete if the player is only holding on with one hand - the player may attempt to hold the trigger half-way to maintain a grip without losing stamina, at the risk of accidentally letting go. To increase available stamina, the player may chalk their hands to maintain grip, which they can do by holding a button and shaking the controller, but this motion requires the player to let go their grip with that hand. If the player reaches a gap too big to the climb across, they can push themselves off the led ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Climb (book)
''The Climb'' (1997), republished as ''The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest'', is an account by Russian-Kazakhstani mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev of the 1996 Everest Disaster, during which eight climbers died on the mountain. The co-author, G. Weston DeWalt—who was not part of the expedition—provides accounts from other climbers and ties together the narrative of Boukreev's logbook. Background The book is also partially a response to Jon Krakauer's account of the same 1996 Everest climb in his book ''Into Thin Air'' (1997), which appeared to criticize some of Boukreev's actions during the climb.Author's postscript, 1999 edition of ''Into Thin Air'' After ''The Climb'' was published, DeWalt leveled many public criticisms at Krakauer concerning the accuracy of each man's account of what happened on the mountain during the 1996 climbs. Krakauer details the disagreements, and his rapprochement with Boukreev , in the postscript to the 1999 edition of ''Into Thin Air''. Boukreev ...
