I'm a new user, happy to see an open platform for crags/routes and decide to add one local crag in France.
I create a global area, a sub area
When I take the topo & begin bulk adding 31 routes, from left to right,
doing that in batches (didn't pay attention to how many routes at a time)
Then I look at the list of routes, I can't understand the route order !
And then I have to reorder them manually from left to right one by one (as there's no bulk selection+action).
keep it up !
From a climbable cave and a deep water soloing wall to a dog park, these climbing gyms and facilities go above and beyond.

Just as climbers rely on each other to navigate challenges, the resilience and support shown by this community remind us
