Climber and Problem Files:

Climber files are formatted as follows:

climber weight_in_kg height_in_cm ape_index_as_multiple_of_height

Problem files are formatted as follows:

wall width_in_m height_in_m angle_to_horizontal

(As of yet, only an angle to the horizontal of 0 is supported)

After the initial line, there needs to be a set of lines of either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Each number represents a 10x10cm area on the 2D front facing projection of the wall.
The meanings of the numbers are as follows:

• 0 - empty space on wall.
• 1 - starting hand hold.
• 2 - starting foot hold.
• 3 - generic hold on problem.
• 4 - finish hold for problem.
