Coming Soon: Crag Credits

While everything is available free on the website, we’ve introduced subscription pricing in the app to help cover development and hosting costs. Crags with limited data are free in the app. Individually paid crags cost $1 - $5 each in the Android app (depending on number of routes and quality of data). We have just implemented ‘roll-up’ pricing at the country level so a subscription to all paid crags in Australia is currently $9 (much cheaper than subscribing on a one-by-one basis). This includes all updates for 12 months.

We will also soon introduce a system so that users who contribute routes, descriptions, topos, geolocation data, etc to the site earn ‘Crag Credits’ that can be used for subscriptions. Users who make a donation to the site will also be given ‘Crag Credits’. This is not fully implemented yet but you can check out the Crag Credits article and follow the links to your Crag Credit levels.

Gyms in the Index

By popular demand- we’ve added about 20 Aus gyms to the index for those of you who want to be able to log your indoor/training ascents. Let us know if there are other gyms you want added. We’re working on how to handle gym ascents in the stats so they don’t dilute your real ascents ;-)

Check out the new-look profile page. Summary stats at the top much easier to read at-a-glance.

Topo creation

Topo creation was down for a short while after the release but it’s all sorted now. Campbell

Site update

We have just done a website release with 89 issues resolved. Well actually I have still got to run some post release scripts and tidy up, so it will be a day or two before this is all finished. Lot’s of changes lot’s under the hood as well. For a list of issues resolved see:
