 @Erik you were trying to build something like crimpstr, no? 
 Yeah I've been thinking about something like this for a couple years now. My first attempt was building something in top of ipfs, but that was kind of a nightmare.

At one point I scraped all of the routes from mountain project, I think I have them somewhere so it's a good "seed" to start something. 

Creating a nostr client for climbing seems like the next logical step. Zapping or sending ecash to route developers would be 🔥.  
 I could see something like this for hiking, as well. 🤔 
 Totally! It's kinda like taking @PABLO 🌶️'s wikifreedia design, but applying it specifically to climbing / hiking. 
Especially with climbing, people disagree on grades, and you might want to vote on a fork of a route, rather than giving admins all the power to keep the grade of a route.  
 This is a fantastic idea 
 Everything on my fork is 8a/v10 
 Yup, this is applicable on soooo many things that are hard to measure.
