Climbing
Several interesting lines on this mountain, none of them very serious but all requiring commitment. The east-northeast ridge is rated AD/D (depending on conditions), the southeast face AD+ and the southeast ridge AD.
gollark: It's possible. Presumably if I used an encoding which it was actually possible for other people to decode this would not be the case.
gollark: Not really. If I have a UTF-16 document with valid grammar/spelling and I convert it to UTF-8, the grammar/spelling is not altered.
gollark: That's grammar/spelling, not *encoding*.

gollark: Encode extra proposal content in zero width space/invisible character patterns. I don't think there's any rule specifying the encoding of proposal content, so I could just sneak that into a proposal and later demand that it be followed. Possibly. Except invisible characters are forbidden.
