Template:Infobox climber/doc

{{Infobox climber}} should be used only for sportspeople whose notability is from climbing (e.g. mountaineering (alpine climbing), rock climbing (traditional climbing, sport climbing, free solo climbing, aid climbing), ice climbing (mixed climbing) and competition climbing). This is the only climbing-related personal/biographical infobox.

For all other sportspeople, either use one of the specialized infoboxes designed for particular sports at "Category:Sportsperson infobox templates", or the generic template {{Infobox sportsperson}}.

Parameters

This template takes all parameters available in {{Infobox sportsperson}}. For a complete list, see here. For commonly-used generic plus climber-specific parameters, see below:

Parameter	Description
headercolor	To change the default color of headers, indicate a color name (e.g., lightblue or orange) or a hex triplet (e.g., #2468A0). To determine the hex triplet of a color, see List of colors; or go to List of colors#Colors by shade, click on the article associated with the desired color, and look up the hex triplet.
Personal information
name	The name of the subject.
image	An image of the subject. Type the name of the image file without adding File: before it or wikilinking it. If no image is available yet, do not use an image placeholder.
image_size	The image size. Only use this parameter if the image is less than 220 pixels in width. If so, than indicate the image's respective width in pixels, like this: image_size=200px.
alt	Alt text for the image displayed.
caption	A caption for the image displayed.
nickname	Nickname of the subject.
nationality	The subject's nationality. Use only when necessary per WP:INFONAT. Do not use a flag template.
birth_date	The subject's birth date. If still alive, use {{birth date and age|year|month|day}}, otherwise use {{birth date|yyyy|mm|dd}}.
birth_place	The subject's place of birth. Do not use a flag template.
death_date	The subject's death date, if applicable. Use {{death date and age|death year|death month|death day|birth year|birth month|birth day}}.
death_place	The subject's place of death, if applicable. Do not use a flag template.
spouse
education	Education, e.g. degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant.
occupation	Occupation(s) as given in the lead.
height	The subject's height, if relevant, measured in centimetres (or metres) when using the metric system or in feet and inches when using the imperial system. Use XXX cm, X.XX m, or X ft Y in. The infobox will automatically display the appropriate conversion within parentheses. To satisfy international variations of English, if the subject is American or British (or primarily notable in English for playing on an American or British team, or for participating in American or British sports) enter the height in feet (ft) and inches (in), otherwise enter the height in centimetres (cm). | height = 6 ft 3 in → 6 ft 3 in (191 cm) | height = 191 cm → 191 cm (6 ft 3 in) The height parameter also accepts conversions done via the {{Convert}} template. | height = {{convert|6|ft|3|in|cm|abbr=on}} → 6 ft 3 in (191 cm) | height = {{convert|191|cm|ftin|abbr=on}} → 191 cm (6 ft 3 in) If the subject's height stated in a source is the converted measurement, ensure that this measurement is accurately stated. For example, if a source states 192 centimetres but the infobox should display feet and inches first: Incorrect usage, does not display (192 cm): | height = 6 ft 4 in → 6 ft 4 in (193 cm) Correct usage, displays (192 cm): | height = 6 ft 3.6 in → 6 ft 3.6 in (192 cm) | height = 6 ft 4 in (192 cm) → 6 ft 4 in (192 cm) | height = {{convert|192|cm|ftin|abbr=on|order=flip}} → 6 ft 4 in (192 cm) If the subject has not reached their adult height, add the year when the height was measured, in parentheses (round brackets) after the height. Provide a reference for the information after the year, in parentheses, indicating in the footnote both the source and the original units, like this: "[source of information] (original measurement in feet and inches)"; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Unit conversions.
weight	The subject's weight, if relevant, measured in kilograms when using the metric system, in pounds when using the imperial system, or in stone and pounds in the United Kingdom. Use X kg, X lb, or X st Y lb. The infobox will automatically display the appropriate conversion within parentheses. If the subject is American (or primarily notable in English for playing for an American team, or for participating in U.S. sports), enter the weight in pounds (lb), otherwise enter the weight in kilograms (kg). | weight = 120 lb → 120 lb (54 kg) | weight = 60 kg → 60 kg (132 lb) The weight parameter also accepts conversions done via the {{Convert}} template. | weight = {{convert|120|lb|kg|abbr=on}} → 120 lb (54 kg) | weight = {{convert|60|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} → 60 kg (132 lb) When using the convert template for kilogram-to-pound conversions, the zero (highlighted) is necessary for correct rounding. Otherwise, the example above would display as "60 kg (130 lb)". If the subject's weight stated in a source is the converted measurement, ensure that this measurement is accurately stated. For example, if a source states 125 pounds but the infobox should display kilograms first: Incorrect usage, does not display (125 lb): | height = 57 kg → 57 kg (126 lb) Correct usage, displays (125 lb): | height = 56.7 kg → 56.7 kg (125 lb) | height = 57 kg (125 lb) → 57 kg (125 lb) | height = {{convert|125|lb|kg|abbr=on|order=flip}} → 57 kg (125 lb) After the weight, add the year when the weight was measured, in parentheses. Please supply a reference in the same manner as for the subject's height.
website	Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}} as in {{URL|examplesite.com|ExampleSite.com}}. Do not include the www. part unless the server is misconfigured and requires it. Use camel case capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read.
Climbing career
type_of_climber	Specialty of the climber. For example, mountaineering, alpine climbing, ice climbing, traditional climbing, sport climbing, competition climbing, free solo climbing, or bouldering. If more than one specialty, use a bulleted list (e.g. '{{flatlist}}')
highest_grade	Highest verifiable tecnhcial grade the climber has successfully achieved.
highest_redpoint	Highest verifiable redpoint the climber has successfully achieved in either sport climbing or traditional climbing formats. Use the {{climbing grade}} template for French sport grades or American YDS grades.
highest_onsight	Highest verifiable on-sight the climber has successfully achieved. If it was a flash, add '(flash)' after the grade. Use the {{climbing grade}} template for French sport grades or American YDS grades.
highest_boulder	Highest verifiable boulder problem the climber has successfully achieved. Use the {{boulder grade}} template for French font grades or Amerian V-grades.
highest_free_solo	Highest verifiable free solo the climber has successfully achieved. Use the {{climbing grade}} template for French sport grades or American YDS grades.
first_ascents	List of important first ascents.
major_ascents	Particularly notable or important ascents the climber has made outside of first ascents from above.
named_routes	Routes that have been named after the climber (e.g., the Bonatti Pillar after Walter Bonatti).
worlds	Significant competition climbing titles the subject has earned at World Climbing (overall World Climbing Series medals, or World Climbing Championships medals), or medals in climbing at the Summer Olympics.
retired	Date of retirement from competition climbing (non-competition climbers tend to keep climbing into their later years).
known_for	Key climbing items for which the person is noted such as technical grade milestones, most competition climbing medals, winner of the Piolet d'Or, or inventor of climbing equipment or climbing technique.
Medal record
medal_templates	All templates from the medal records table except {{MedalTableTop}} and {{MedalBottom}}. For more information, see the medal templates documentation.
show_medals	If set to no, the medals table is hidden (collapsed) and will only be shown (expanded) if the "show" link is selected. Otherwise, the medals template is displayed.
updated	Use {{subst:Date}} or {{subst:Date|2=mdy}}.
