As I said, I'm not a lawyer, just erring on the side of caution. My
worry is that if you add the "Nike Chimney" (fake name) as a climbing
route, we may be using something that is not without legal encumbrance.
I'm just paranoid :-)
I would suggest that if anyone goes out, surveys and climbs

Hi Jonathan,
I believe the lack of copyright on route names and location was settled in
BMC vs Rockfax, when the BMC sued on exactly that basis and lost, but I
don't have a cite to hand.

Typically by asking local climbers, and climbing the route yourself.
Opinions I've seen are that route names are not copyrightable, any more
than road or mountain names. So If I've been there, verified the name with

Hi,
Is there a current/acceptable method for mapping climbs? Each time I go to
a new area and spend ages squinting at bits of rock that vaguely look like
