    Normally, I publish a complete version of my articles for my Premium Members, and a shortened version of articles on the public part of my website.
    However, for this article, I'm changing that. 
    Because I want this to reach the largest possible audience, I'm posting the entire article here on the public part of my website.

    Inspiration and peer review for this article is from Kevin Maliczak, aka ClimbingTaiwan. Connect on his Instagram @climbingtaiwan and YouTube.
