Mountain Project
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Everything from FB groups, Mountain Project, meetup groups, to just hanging out at the crag.
- If you're willing to share a location, crag name, route name/difficulty, we might be able to judge more effectively - we usually ID them by sharing links to the route on [Mountain Project](https://www.mountainproject.com/).
- Mountain project has mainly been used, mainly by visiting folk.
- MP has improved in Montana drastically over the last 5 years, but things are still generally left at just enough info for you to “figure out on your own”.
- I appreciate the reply and you make a great analogy haha thanks for mentioning the Mountain Project, that helped show me there are actually some pretty solid places nearby!
Cons
- I’ve looked on Mountain Project, but I didn’t really see anything closer than an hour, but I have a feeling there’s stuff in the area not posted on MP
- it would seem to me that kaya is a better model than say mountain project, which is essentially open-source rip off of guidebooks offering zero compensation to guidebook authors.
- Has anyone seen the “leaderboards” pages on the mobile version of mountain project? They show who has logged a specific route the most times but it is basically just a list of who has logged “fell/hung” the most times on a route. Cannot...
- Parent context: It’s public in an area that is pretty pro climbing development. One developer who is also my friend has an opinion that guidebooks make the experience too easy. He feels it makes the crowds bigger than it should be and at...
- No, Mountain Project did

Has anyone seen the “leaderboards” pages on the mobile version of mountain project? They show who has logged a specific route the most times but it is basically just a list of who has logged “fell/hung” the most times on a route. Cannot for the life of me figure out why they thought that needed to be a thing.

Parent context: It’s public in an area that is pretty pro climbing development. One developer who is also my friend has an opinion that guidebooks make the experience too easy. He feels it makes the crowds bigger than it should be and attracts some of the less respectful climbers. He is very pro mountain project though. Reply: I can't understand how someone would think a guidebook attracts a less desireable crowd, but then also be pro-MP, which is just a guidebook but free.
No, Mountain Project did
