I'm putting together a set of destinations for the new, national version of the climbing partner database (which will be rolled out shortly after July 4). I'd like to get a list of the top 50+ or so climbing destinations throughout the continent (NA). I think I've got the obvious ones, but would appreciate some move feedback from you well traveled types. So what am I missing (I know, a lot)? Here's my list so far (don't worry too much about the regions, I can change them once I have a full list: NORTHEAST Gunks Daks Cathedral/Whitehorse/Cannon Rumney Acadia/Desert Island SOUTHEAST The New The Red T Wall Seneca Stone Mtn Table Rock/Linville WEST Yosemite/Tuolome Sierras Joshua Tree Donner Pass/Lake Tahoe Red Rocks NORTHWEST Smith Leavenworth Squamish ROCKIES City of Rocks Needles Devil's Tower Maple Canyon Little/Big Cottonwood Wind Rivers Tetons Boulder Canyon Eldorado Canyon Rocky Mtn Natn'l Park Rifle Indian River/Moab SOUTHWEST Hueco Potrero Thanks for any help you can give. _________________________ evan marks webmaster@gunks.com I wish I could read every post...

andrew Pooh-Bah Registered: 11/15/99 Posts: 1816 Loc: Denver, CO	Make a separate desert region since it has nothing to do with the Rockies, move Indian Creek and Red Rocks to it, and add Zion, the San Rafael Swell, and the Moab area to it. Add Index and the North Cascades to the Northwest. Remove Boulder Canyon and add the South Platte instead from the Rockies. Add Paradise Forks, Cochise, and Mt Lemmon to the southwest. Add the Needles to the West. _________________________ This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting.

Far from complete.. On a political map several of your South East locations are actually in the North East. It's "Indian Creek" not "Indian River" HP-40, Little Rock City, Hounds Ears You have Squamish - if Canada's part of this then you need to add a ton of other destinations. Arizona $;\)$ (Mt. Lemmon, Cochise Stronghold, Superstitions, etc.) Zion ...

nerdom Pooh-Bah * Registered: 09/07/01 Posts: 2483 Loc: Davis Sq., MA	Southeast: Sunset Cliffs Looking Glass and to Table Rock/Linville should be added "/Shortoff" for that matter, the Chattanooga areas could be lumped together, i.e., "T-Wall/Sunset Cliffs/Jamestown/Foster Falls/Obed" _________________________ we're all living proof that nothing lasts

If you can't distinguish a request for a Cathedral partner from one for Canon there's an issue - imo.

If you want to have a look at the interface, you can go over to ClimbingPartner.com and sign up to have a look-see at the new site. The credit card system is in test mode so you can use the credit card number, 4111111111111111, to set up an account. From the "search" page, you can click on "add destinations" or just check out the interface during the sign-up. It's worth mentioning again, the current region designations aren't set in stone by any means.

GOclimb Pooh-Bah Registered: 03/26/01 Posts: 2326 Loc: Boston	I'd definitely separate Cathedral/Whitehorse from Cannon. Also, consider adding a section for Kancamagus crags. GO
