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.

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.

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

  • ...

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"

It's difficult to say whether things should be lumped together or not without understanding the complete interface that the user deals with. 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.

I'd definitely separate Cathedral/Whitehorse from Cannon. Also, consider adding a section for Kancamagus crags.
