We may add features later so you can also sign up to get the Gear sale or other things, but let me know what you want. This is a community first and will continue to be. We not trying to sell you anything, but I sure would love to hear about your trip in the mountains. BTW, if anyone has experience on how to set up an entity as a non-profit, that is the plans we have for this site and community.

I created a new application that lets you sign up to get a email with a clickable links to all the new TRs for the month. So if you forget we exist you'll be reminded and you'll see all the new TRs. I tested it and it looks good so far. You can opt out and I've tested that. It will also include whatever I have in the "Annoucements" tab. I may put an add in there for AAI occasionally....maybe not...but it could happen so don't be mad it it does. Its cool feature! Let me know if you see anything weird with it. Its on the right sidebar. It disappears after you sign up. I put other logic into it too. When you sign up you won't immediately get an email, but I'll add something right now to let you know you're signed up. The actual email only goes out at the end of the month. But that will be it! No other BS, I promise. I don't want BS either. This is so cool, i'm having fun with this crap!

Trip: No Where - Dog route Trip Date: 03/09/2026 Trip Report: Just testing Gear Notes: chewing gum Approach Notes: via the internet

you're hired

Now that I'm standing on the stilts of AI, I'm making quick progress in remediating some very complex issues that have plagued the site. One has been a problem with new registrations not recieving their registration email so they could sign in. I believe I have it fixed. Try it if you've been frustrated before. The amount of things I fixed just today on this site is amazing. I can't actually believe it myself, but this is where we are at. And its going to get even better. I have plans. I'm looking for accomplices.

If you want to use the search function you'll need to create an ID and login. I had to turn that off because bots were messing with forum and kept getting performance usage alerts. So just create an account and be logged in if you want to use that function. Thanks!

do you have the other three bags all listed here too?

I’m sure we can do this

Yes that is a current bug. I need to do analysis on how to best drop the non-TRs. I’ve also started on a TR fixing tool admins and mods can use to fix broken TRs that are missing info or are incorrectly formatted. But to do that I need a vision of what a “correct TR” looks like. Then I can use that as a basis for fixing all of them or at least selecting them for corrections

I just need us to crowd source ideas for making this site better code wise or any way. Lets hear your ideas. A LOT more just became possible.

Just fixed a bug in the search tool where if there was a space in the name it would search "Lucas+Ng" and not "Lucas Ng". Gotta be able to see @Lucas Ng and EVERYONE's TRs in there! I just happened to notice this. Claude is very smart, but its not infabblile. Do let me know if you notice anything else.

It’s good to get some good news these days! Thanks for sharing!

just did a little rearranging of the form and check boxes in TR Search. Also note I moved it to the far right on the top menu. I also renamed the "Trip Reports" to more accurately be "Submit TR". Probably all I'll do today unless i get some burning idea.

Good hanging out with you today @Otto!

added "best of cc.com" to the search TR search function. Keep in mind this is limited to TRs, so if not in the TRs forums then those won't show up. but the TR search is all about TRs so that is why.

I just added a "first ascent" selection in the search tool. You can search by FAs in a region by season, or whatever you want to slice or dice it. if you know of an FA that doesn't show up, then PM me a link. I'll add the tag and it will show up in search. This is pretty fun. Please add your feature enhancement ideas here. I will see what I can do. I have other ideas, but this is going to get better everytime I touch it.

currerently results are just showing any post in a TR forum for a user. I'll get that fixed. Also I think I'm going to make a tool for fixing TRs which Mods and Admins can use to fix TR posts to get them properly formatted. We may also be able to search by tag. But I'm out of tokens for the day, so next time.

made the search results look like forum view. dang this is pretty fun.

added autocomplete to the search for author. it continues to be wonky. but i can continuelly iterate this to improve.

Oh I quickly realized that buying the Pro version was the thing to do. im using Claude code, which is suited to my level…not an IDE. ive worked with some really smart people and the process it uses is uncannily similar. The actual coding part is more black box but when it troubleshoots it tells you what it’s checking and why. It took it like 8 iterations to get it right but it did. I thinks the one part I’m wondering about it how good can it get at actually enabling my vision of what I want. It may just come down to my ability to write prompt rather than Claude not being able to execute.

What a Goodwill find!

Unbelievable....this is version .01. It has issues. But I just made this in an hour using natural language prompts. https://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/trsearch/ Does it work well? Not really. But as a POC pretty cool. I'm not a coder. I ran out of tokens for the day, so I'll pick it up the next time I have time.

Anyone out there "vibing"? I just started playing around with Claude. Before I was thinking hiring out for a developer to handle creating new functionality (and restoring some things we used to have). But Claude has me thinking otherwise, and maybe we can keep it inhouse. The most immediate need is for a Trip Report Search capability. Search all the Trip Reports by: Area/TR Forum Author/Submitter (V2 can include other party members if they are tagged into the TR) Month or Month Collection (Season) Date Range (Radio button so time/date would be radio button/either but not both) Keyword Photos-Yes/No FA/FWA/FFA ....maybe just start with FA yes/no ? My day job has me pretty busy to the point of exhaustion on many days, and my free time is often trying to find time to either get exercise for myself and my dog. I do plan on retiring at some point in a couple years (though that could happen sooner, as that is the way the world is these days). So I have limited time, which will change in the future. But for now.... Anyone else trying out Claude or another model? I'm considering purchasing Claude right now. I'm also looking a one of Jetbrains offerings, though I'm still researching that.

I don’t use that site. Perhaps there are more people over there. I think it’s a corporate site, owned by OnX. it’s another place you could offer stuff for sale. You could also put it on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace.
