Map Legend
- Blue markers: Vertical Life data only
- Red markers: Mountain Project data only
- Brown markers: Mixed data from both sources
- Marker size: Proportional to number of routes climbed
- Marker color: Based on average difficulty of routes at that location
Geolocation Data
Coordinates were obtained through:
- Manual mapping for well-known climbing areas
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim geocoding API for other locations
- GPS coordinates are included for 386 out of 416 routes (93% coverage)
Location positioning is accurate to the general climbing area, though some specific crags may not be precisely positioned.
