MountainProject WebsiteMountainProject is a community driven online index of technical climbing routes worldwide. The focus is on technical rock, ice, mixed and bouldering routes, but some alpine climbing routes have been added to the database. Although there are sections in the database for international routes, the bulk of the routes posted on the website is centered around the western United States. Because the database is contributed by the users, this resource tends to be the most up to date guidebook for the active areas.
Users are allowed to contribute areas, sub-areas and routes to the database, as well as images, rating adjustments, quality stars and comments. Each user has a user page where they can track tick lists, todo lists and their contributions to the site. There is a ranking system similar to SummitPost, but without the weighting system for users with many contributions. The site also hosts forums and a Partner Finder database.

| cushman | Great Site for Western US | | 
Voted 5/5 | I use MP.com for most of my rock climbing and ice beta, it's set up very well to search for routes and many users contribute great images to help with locating the route. A hardcopy guidebook is always great, but I will always check MP.com for any comments and up to date information regarding anchors, etc. | | Posted Dec 6, 2007 2:51 pm |

Voted 4/5 | best site out there for individual route information. Although, some of the route descriptions suck. They're not much more than a sentence or two. Lots of lazy contributors I guess. There is some good stuff though and for rock climbing, especially in Colorado, its the go-to place to find route info. Ice climbing is well represented there as well. | | Posted Mar 19, 2008 11:33 am |
