Woah! That’s very thorough! Thanks for taking the time to post up your suggestions. I’ll go over them with Grant at some point so we can get an idea of the things we’ll change, and how we’ll change them. I have a couple of responses for a few of your points straight away though:

The buttons on the left are ment to obscure the line.

I agree – the climb creation process needs streamlining, so we’re going to be looking at that soon.

You can actually edit others climbs (view the climb, then click the edit tab on the top-right) – though this probably needs making clearer.

Thanks for your feedback. If you have any more, it’d be greatfully received.

when you scroll over a number on the map allow it to create a pop up window of statics of the area, like a graph of the area’s quantity of climbs and their difficulty

when you scroll over buttons on the left the faded grey vertical line disapears,

there is no way to create multiple climbs in one area, I would suggest a format that once you fill the information of one climb it automatically provides the blank space for the next climb

as far as converting grades that is way to complex, things need to be stupidly simple

aesthetically I would suggest reducing how many sharp corners there, round the edges of teh boxes to visually be less jarring on the web site.

and something is to complex in the climb posting process, perhaps think about the order of interaction. for instance clicking location with the mouse and then selecting a grade with the mouse and then typing details, people would only have to transition from the mouse to keyboard once allowing them an easier time posting more climbs

and providing a way to edit each post by others, eg. adding a photo or editing the grade.

sorry I’m so opinionated

I ordered the 8 knot design on a vest and it looks awesome. Very well printed.

Hello D.C. climbers!

Hi there… I’ve lost my climbing partner, and I need a new one (don’t worry, I didn’t drop him). Anyone up for a little lead climbing at the Rockville Earth Treks or the Alexandria Sport Rock?

I have two pairs the evolv s are my general comfy shoe for some quick and easy work of things and my favorite pair so far have been the 5.10 5x. The 5.10s have been an awesome shoe and you can never go bad with the stealth c4 rubber.

Anybody in the Northern California area want to compete in a small climbing comp? We have a group of a dozen or so really tight climbing walls. My friend and I are opening a gym in the area and are trying to rasie awareness of the sport. I also need some forerunners for our routesetting.

I’ve got a friend who does online articles for different outdoor/mountaineering/climbing companies, and he really likes his. He says its firm enough to catch but soft enough to not break anything. He loves it.
