Canyoneering routes on MP

There's a market for a site like MP but with canyoneering routes. It would be easy for MP to add the option for canyons instead of making a new site (new canyon sites tend to fail).

Would this interest those of you who run the site?

Cheers

I am pretty sure this has been discussed before on this site, and the general consensus was its not climbing so it doesnt really belong... i know they are similar but that was the voice. Anyways, here is a new site that seems to be doing fairly well just incase you dont already know about it!
canyoncollective.com/
also depending on where you are from and where you are looking for canyons there are various other sites, for AZ hikearizona.com is a pretty good one, allong with toddshikingguide.com
I know there are a bunch for southern Utah that i have seen i just cant remember the names of any good ones right now. hope this helps

They could launch another sister site, along the lines of mtbproject.com

How about canyonproject.com?

stropsa,

When are you coming up North so we can hit the Draw and maybe a canyon?

The last thing we need is a bunch of yahoos in the canyons who read about it on the internet. Why turn canyons into crags. I think publicly posting canyon locations on this website or others is only asking for trouble, but thats just my opinion. Id like to think i can still go recreate in in a few select beautiful locations without masses of people being there every weekend.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I've seen and used those other sites. They do not support a direct user-created database like MP or Summitpost (MP being better organized and thus the better model).

I actually created my own site for canyons and routes, but no longer have any motivation to devote that much time to keeping it running and keeping Ukranian Pornbots off it.

Ryan, too late.

canyoncollective does permit use created routes and is organized by area and map...

I forgot about them. Just looked at them again. Looks about right.

Cool site, Ryan!
