I just want to double-check if the current Climbing wiki page
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Climbing
has correct definitions of how to map the climbing sites. From what I understand, there would be nodes for climbing=route_bottom
, or ways for climbing=route
. These are added into a site
relation of type climbing
and sport=climbing
+ climbing=crag
. Crags are added into another site
relation of type climbing
and sport=climbing
+ climbing=area
.
This is all, then, nicely depicted in https://openclimbing.org/, for example.
However, there is tons of information in OSM that follows various (older?) standards and Iād like to know if the above is some sort of consensus on how to map climbing sites in general. In which case I would be adjusting some older tags and adding the relations.
The questions naturally arise for different aspects. I.e. a cliff marks a crag but there are no known individual routes. Should the cliff be added to the crag
relation?
What about multi-pitch routes? Are they routes or crags? Is every pitch a separate route? Why, or why not?
Why are gyms left out of this tagging scheme? A climbing=gym
tag seems perfectly matching, for example.
And so onā¦
