International

Looks like some of the international areas might need some re-org eventually (that is, hopefully, as more info gets added).. I mean as far as being in a Country/State/Area/Mountain/Crag format like the rest.

For example, 'Rio de Janeiro-Urca", a general area in the city of Rio, then state of Rio, then country of Brazil; shouldn't be under the same heading as the whole country of "Argentina".

Thanks much

I agree with Christian. International section needs some work. For example, I can't believe that Switzerland isn't represented. I know it is easy to point out the problem and not provide the solution but it really needs someone from the particular country to take in on. Or perhaps it should just link out to a site that does maintain country data like UK Climbing.

Well, start puttin some work into it.. This is community web site, ran and maintened by members. If you got sweet info on swizzy, post it up

I am from Switzerland and I am in love with trad climbing. It is not easy to get information about trad climbs here at all. We do not have a DB like UK climbing... We do have dozens of climbing guides for bolted sport stuff but none for trad climbs (except the "keep wild" guide which only includes long alpine climbs).

swizzy, so much rock - and even more bolts...

go climbing in switzerland: besides the alpine routes you just finde bolted sport climbing. Ask people about nice crags to trad climb single pitches - they'll starr at you like your nuts.

we would have so much of nice solid rock for trad climbing (göschenen, grimsel, alto-ticino just to mention some areas) there is no big trad scene, just some freaks who do like theire E8 stuff at secret spots, the alpinists who do the multipitches - but the rest is sport climbers!

For me, a swiss guy want to climb moderate trad routes let's say one to three pitches, I have to finde them myself.

So thats what I do. Maybe I'll put up some info here sometime...

greez,
I was only in Switzerland for two weeks and had no problem finding long moderate trad routes. What about the Engelhorner?

Canada seems like they could have their own section outside of "International." Just an idea...
