I can see the RRGCC's purpose in setting something up to run the route "auction"*. But it is in the best interest of clmbers (particularly 'visitors' to the Red and new climbers) to have one complete, coherent guide. From the sounds of things, the ball is rolling and has already rolled pretty far on this RRGCC sub-guide, so it's probably too late to steer the ship in a different direction. I would hope that the RRGCC will offer to share the useful information that they gather so that it will be integrated into the full online guide.
(* It's probably too late to whine about the use of the term "auction", but it never seemed to clearly communicate what's going on. It seems to me that "adopt a route" is better - it's the terminology that I've seen zoos use for similar fundraising campaigns)
