I am not opposed as I think it is a good starting point, but I have these comments:
"Crags" are only small areas My understanding from 15 years in this activity is that a "crag" is a small area as explained here [1]. At least in the US, no one would refer to El Cap [2] as a "crag" yet it is something that should be mapped if one is mapping things related to climbing. Climbing areas, including crags, are hierarchical in organization and suitable for representation as a relation For example, in Colorado, US, the Shelf Road[3] climbing area, consists of a number of "sub" areas, including Sand Gulch[4], Sand Gulch also consists of further sub areas, and these areas contain individual routes. "climbing:bolted" should include "mixed" Some routes have some bolts for protection, but also require placement of gear (cams, pitons). Need tag to indicate if pitons are allowed (they damage the rock) Need rating (difficulty) tag for aid climbing[5] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_climbing_terms#crag [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Capitan [3] https://www.mountainproject.com/v/shelf-road/105744267 [4] https://www.mountainproject.com/v/sand-gulch/105744971 [5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aid_climbing#Grading On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 8:36 AM, Richard <ricoz....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Climbing > > was sitting around and evolving for 8 years.
