10 question survey... should just take a minute. Once I have significant results I will let ya know what "everyone" said.

It would be a good survey - IF most people kept a budget. I actually do keep a very detailed budget, separating climbing-related travel from family travel, and tracking climbing gear, clothing, guidebooks, gym, air travel, donations, etc., so my numbers are actual numbers averaged over the past 4 years (rounded to the nearest $10)
But I bet most people who respond will be trying to ballpark it, and would be very inaccurate. People tend to low-ball the estimates on their spending.

Yeah... better questions might be:
How many hours do you drive for a climbing trip? How often? etc. You're going to have to be the one who busts out the calculator.

Even if people low ball (which I probably even did myself) it should give some perspective... which is what I was looking for.
26 entries or so... it already is.

$100.00 for a pair of shoes, your survey is skewed toward the perspective of prom queens.
