I have been climbing for a long time and have compiled alot of
information, that is not in the guidebooks, on routes I have done. I
am considering developing a website that would make this info
available free to anyone. I would want help from other climbers to
provide me with route information on routes I have not done. My
specific experience is all over Calif but the site could include the
entire US if I got help. It would be in a narrative format and address
issues such as: alternate choices on the route, what's the specific
nature of climbing on each section of the route (bolted sport,
friction, crack etc), the quality of the bolts or fixed pro on routes
that have installed pro, the length of the route and each pitch,
rapelling info and the quality of the rappel anchors, how to find the
route, quality of the route, sun exposure, some specific pro placement
suggestions. It would be a narrative that would start at the bottom of
the route and describe all aspects of the route to the top. A couple
questions: Are there
others that have already done this? Anyone have specific ideas or if
something like this would be useful. Please post here or email me at
johnr9q@yahoo.com, Thanks
