It's great to have new people enthusiastic about tagging.
A good side of already existing tags (alpine_hut, shelter..) is that a
mapper not very experianced in mountaineering can tag them easily without
reading 3 pages of text. Also, non-specialized renderers don't have to

That's an odd use of the word 'lean-to'. Yes, a lean-to is a
In the old days when the term was first brought into use in the Adirondack
