Geek_the_Greek Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 DrTopo So I don't know if this is a new site or not, but I just found it and had never heard of it before. It seems to be a good website for a number of cragging areas. I printed out a mini-guide for Smith Rock that had the main areas, and it made a nice little booklet when folded and stapled together - lighter than a guidebook, for sure, and quite current. No topos available in Washington. Anyone care to draw one up (Index? L-worth? Frenchman?) and invite the ire of the guidebook authors?

Geek_the_Greek Posted March 31, 2003 Author Share Posted March 31, 2003 Plan on writing a guidebook , Dru? I don't NOT support guidebook authors (I'm sure I've bought 10 of them), but I'm a fan of the free dissemination of information... The topos on the site are hand-drawn (using Adobe illustrator, I think). Nothing I've seen is stolen, except perhaps the info, but sharing information and beta is part of climbing, I think, and any local could share the same info, making it "not stolen". Anyway, it's not my site, I don't know anything about it, but I think it's a good idea, and the natural progression of internet-disseminated climbing info. I plan on using it and I hope it flourishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Free information for all. Nothing wrong with that. If a guidebook author gets peaved, maybe they need to make their books a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
