Hello all. I have been a competitive rock climber since I was five-years-old, and still climb > 10 hours a week. In the 21 odd years I have been rock climbing, I have accrued well over 10,000 hours. I have some very interesting details of my rock climbing that I think would interest the adcom - how should I list hours? Only from college onwards or from childhood?

OPTIONS:
The college involvement and thereafter will be of most interest to adcomms, so estimate those, but do refer to the lifelong involvement as part of the backstory of your sport.

Alternatively, you might use the Repeated feature to break down the hours of involvement into multiple time spans, like childhood, HS, college, and thereafter (maximum of 4 are allowed), but you'd likely be inexact in your estimates going back so far.

**Whatever choice you make, a solution to "unknowable hours" problem would be to insert a 99, 999, or 9999 into the Total hours space.
