bdr74 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Hey there climbers... Picture this...your first epic ascent of an amazing new route. You want to share the details and give beta to your climbing friends but have to doodle over a photo with Paint, or pay a butt-load of money for professional illustration software. Even if you have the spare change for a program, it's never quite climbing specific. Search no further - Betaflash is here. Betaflash is a new free application designed by a climber specifically for creating quality climbing topos. If you're using Windows, Mac, Linux or other Unix flavor, download it from this website: http://sites.google.com/site/betaflashsite Enjoy.

dbb Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Very nice! I did notice that when moving a "route" object via the "move & scale" options it was actually changing the route angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
