Not surprised but a real pity all the same. I wonder is it boulderers as opposed to climbers, real climbing meets often seem to attract a decent crowd, and I feel like I've been to a few "mixed" meets and been in a small minority of boulderers.

Didn't want the other thread to digress but I'm curious as to how people might see an app being used as a guide in the future. I think there'll definitely be a market, its the logical step if guides start moving even in part to handheld devices.

It'll keep a ticklist for you.
Direct you around circuits like a GPS, where necessary invents its own based on a grade range,  climbing preferences etc.
Links to videos of problem being done, allows you to upload same.
Shows grades according to consensus (bleau.info style) and change accordingly with more traffic, hold breakages, increased polish etc. Link you directly to discussions/faqs about specific problems, is this hold in etc. Basically wiki-bouldering.
Recommend problems to you based on problems you've done/liked.
Allow searches of problem types that suit you, aretes, slopers etc
Recommend specific venues based on the upcoming weather.

This is a vision of the future. (This vision assumes blanket 3G coverage)

In terms of Marie Rose being a total sandbag, spits off the best of folks, I'd suggest Tombstone arete as its twin. Obviously Tombstone doesn't have the history though, so maybe Lowe's problem on the Egg boulder?


I think JH could grow to love the name Jizzle.

Sorry Steve, I was merely giving credit where it was due, I don't think of it in those terms.

Probably obvious but I reckon at this stage the guide doesn't need to have such a dominant a position on the page.
