Climbing map
I know that we’ve kicked this idea around in the past but I want to make a climbing area map of the gabes that lives on the forum. A caltopo map can also work

Definitely! I was thinking of giving it to verified climbers of the forum as well as admins and mods.

I want an eispiraten exclusive climbing area map. something like www.thecrag.com or www.mountainproject.com
We want to be able to log route information, upload an image, set route difficulty, and so on. I can make a spreadsheet as an example to show what data is necessary to get started.

yeah mountain project is owned by onX now and they won't even give API's to download their data anymore. Also, I think the Eispiraten community is dope enough for our own climbing info and projects to share and explore.
Maybe one day we can make our own guidebook from the information and make it public someday!

I'm curious how it would look. I like the idea of having stuff on here that isn't just a forum, but pages with information, know what I mean? Web pages. I don't have the time to put effort into it even if I knew how, though. I am too busy with life.
I prefer not to use mountainproject. I contributed to it heavily in the past but as ownership passed between various parties, one specifically who censored many route names out of 'compassionate authoritarianism', shall we say, I preferred not to use it and definitely not to contribute to it. I don't like someone censoring my contributions, as I find it ultimately insulting. I would be much more willing to contribute to our own setup with pages I wrote which would move away from the sports/performance obsession of climbing (grades, difficulty, dick measuring) and closer to adventure, meditation, good things for the soul.
Perhaps if individual pages and points on a map could be made private... sounds like a lot of work. Again, I don't know how to do this and I will not do this because I barely have any time to do anything aside from work and the things I do in my free time, which I'm not willing to sacrifice. If a system was set up and I could contribute to it when the architecture was present, I would do so slowly, but probably in great detail.
