Map Elements

The areas for our first maps are:

  • Red Rock Canyon, NV
  • Smith Rock, OR
  • Joshua Tree, CA (To be released in early 2018 - keep an eye out for earlybird discounts!)
Here is what Climb-On maps provide:
Quick visual reference of the number of climbs and grade distribution at a crag or wall.
  • Plan your climbing day based on the type of climbing you want to do (e.g. sport or trad) and the difficulty.
  • At a glance you can tell if an area has a concentration of the type of climbs you want and if the approaches are close, far, easy, or difficult.
  • We have the most comprehensive list of route data, compiled from multiple guidebooks AND Mountain Project (MP)!
Picture
  • Professional and accurate GPS mapping of climber's approach trails, walk-off trails, and locations of climbing walls. (Map excerpt: Red Rock Canyon, NV - Black Velvet, Whiskey Peak)
Picture
  • Orientation photos, notes, and visual cues to help keep you headed in the right direction. (The colored arrows in the map correspond with the trails and and their color-coded difficult ratings.)
Picture
  • Quick visual reference for trail difficulty.
    • Trail difficulty is oriented towards climbers (who tend to have a high tolerance for adversity).
      • Easy - Can range from a flat "cruiser" to what many lay-hikers might consider "moderate."
      • Moderate - Conditions become more challenging such as hilly, steep, having to route-find, some boulder-hopping.
      • Strenuous - These are steep and difficult trails with one or more of the additional following conditions: loose dirt, loose scree or talus, requires use of hands (may include class 3 and/or 4).
      • Ass Kicking - The next level up. You will probably say "daaamn!" or maybe "uggghh" at the end of this one.
      • Soul Crushing - Take an ass-kicking trail with multiple challenging conditions, then add distance + repeated points of significant/scary exposure + additional very difficult conditions like thick thorny brush and time-sucking route finding. Makes you want to curl up in the fetal position and take a nap.
Picture
  • Quick visual reference for points and level of exposure (i.e. potential for injury if a fall occurs).
    • Exposure icons are included in areas where we encountered significant exposure. (Significant exposure is defined as: A fall of ~ 15 feet or greater. We also considered the fall zone - sharp rocks versus bushes.)
    • A lack of an exposure icon does NOT mean there is no exposure. Some form of mild exposure is common on many climbing approach and walk-off trails.
    • The difference between broken bones and major damage is that a "broken bones" fall may be able to self-evacuate. A "major damage" will likely need to be rescued.
