Climbing Away

First, it's about the iPhone application : the 5th version has just been released from the little hands of our developer :) This new version allows you to :

- upload photos for a rock climbing area directly from your iPhone photos library. Fast, easy and efficient !

- have a quick look to the foreign grades with the 2 new grade converters  simples and handy. Theses grades converters have been made by our experienced climber who travels accross the world for more than 15 years. Let's go climbing away ! ;)

- The guide book covers now lazy download => just get what you want, no more heavy initialization when the application runs for the first time.

To keep a good development dynamic, the application now show iAds. It's still free and if you want to support us or if you're boring about ads, you can make a donation to suppress the ad definitly ! :)

 

Next, it's about the  web site :

- Maps are now in V3 Google API. Searches are easier. To make your searches easier, the world map allow you to make very precise filters and display just what you want. Choose the counrty and/or the climbing style and/or the practice level and/or whished orientation. With such filters, you'll see a clearer map ! :p

- approach lines on the map of a rock climbing area is a new important information because it can save you lots of hours trying to find the crag. Some crags are very lost :)

- a new module to add your rock climbing areas unknown on climbing away : faster, easier, more convenient (Google makes the reverse geocoding).

Now, we keep on validate your rock climbing areas, add your photos and answer your mails :p
Thanks for your passion, see you soon and much more important ...
Have a nice climb !
:)

Inévitablement, l’hiver est revenu (et c'est rien de le dire !) ... Courage, c'est le moment de ne rien lâcher pour ne pas patiner dans du 2b+ au printemps ;) Plus sérieusement, il est possible d'avoir les conditions idéales à une bonne "collante" pour réaliser de jolis blocs ou voies lors de la saison hivernale. Nous vous proposons ci-contre quelques "spots d'hiver". Mais si vous n'avez pas la chance d'habiter près de l'un de ces sites, farfouillez et trouvez LE spot qu'il vous faut pour grimper dans de bonnes conditions. Grâce au trie de la carte du monde, trouvez les faces sud, préférez les voies courtes et les sites à l'abri du vent. Le bloc aussi permet de mieux supporter le froid. N'oubliez pas que c'est moins en grimpant qu'en assurant qu'on "se pèle". Pour optimiser, n'oubliez pas le thermos, des vêtements "techniques" (doudoune, collants de corps et bonnet incontournables). Mettre systématiquement ses chaussons contre soi entre le tee-shirt et le pull entre 2 essais. En 2 mots : sortez couverts ! ;) Si possible, oubliez la pause pique-nique car il n'y a pas une minute de soleil à perdre. Le chocolat chaud en rentrant à la maison n'en sera que meilleur :)

The whole ClimbingAway team wish you a merry christmas and an happy new year !

... lot of fun and lot of climbing of course :)
