Thanks for the info. I own my own webiste called mountain-trips.co.uk, this has a daily update of climbing conditions at Bowles Rocks. Although this s only one crag I am hoping some people might find the information useful.

Thanks for explaining your ‘Nice Climbing Days’ concept. It sounds very reasonable.

I hadn’t tried the proximity search, but I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions and the post! I agree that RSS feeds and widgets would be a great idea and something that I would like to explore. I haven’t really done much with widgets in the past, but I know that they are gaining popularity.

Also, the ‘Nice Climbing Days’ is a bit experimental, but I should probably at least explain what I consider ‘Nice’. This is subjective, but I’m basing it on the last available forecast for a particular day. If the forecast has a high between 50 and 80, and 20% or less chance of rain, I consider it a nice day.

One feature you should definitely check out if you haven’t is the Proximity Search – it allows you to enter a zip code and get the nearest climbing areas.

Glad you enjoy the site, and keep an eye out for new features coming soon!
