I'm relatively new to the world of rock climbing, having been bouldering at a gym for a few months. I'm planning on checking out a natural bouldering area (that is, one made of real naturally occurring stone) nearby. This is my first exposure to climbing outdoors.
Mountain Project and local printed guides sort problems in a way that I don't understand. They can be 'left-to-right' or 'right-to-left'. What does this mean?
The guidebook that I have for climbing lists different routes left-to-right meaning when you are standing in front of the crag looking at the routes they are described in order of what you see going left-to-right.
