Take spray to another level with the new online guidebook!

Next trick is to have it sort the sends by grade, type, stars, etc...

Damn, you all work fast!!! Nice job. Now you just need to help me get a few more of those 5.11's in my list...

Ok. I added some preliminary sorting (later on searching by spray will be added to the crag sloth).

I also added a link to the main guide at the bottom. At the bottom of the route descriptions is a chance to spray. If you have a big ticklist, going to the index from that page is probably fastest.

Man, this is too cool.

Johnny and tbone - you guys should get awards!

My goal this next spring is to go back and try to redpoint the routes I've done on TR. I hadn't realized how many routes I've TR'ed until I looked at them in front of me like that! Too cool....

Damn Johnny! Are you sure you have a job and are not a full time climbing bum?

Very cool set up!

Yeah, this guidebook is QUICKLY shaping up to be one of the coolest online climbing resources I have ever seen.

Now, you ought to add a BETA link to each route. People who have sent the route can get on there and give a little help to those of us who haven't been on it but want to. The good thing is that if you don't want to see the beta, don't click on the link! You could also have a little thing where you can only give the beta if you have actually sent the route and logged it on your SPRAY list. Otherwise, the Sloth comes on there and swears at you for trying to intentionally mislead others! DAMN I am creative today! Now if I could just wake up!

Way cool!

Thanks y'all.
That's a good idea Sikmonkey. The guide will evolve as time goes on. Hopefully I'll get motivated enough to enter the rest of the routes next week.

This couldn't have been done without Jack and Zemkat. I'd still be pulling my hair out trying to learn PHP.

SikMonkey: Nice idea about linking beta to spray. I was actually in the process of splitting comments up into beta, corrections, opinions, and questions. Now that the guide recognizes who you are, I was even going to make it so it didn't show you beta if you say you don't want it in your preferences (but a button to show it per route is great).

Also up soon, the ability to delete routes from your spray, in case you click the wrong one.

Keep the suggestions coming while the snow is here. It makes sure I don't try to go lead in gloves and a parka. I am definitely learning some ice climbing next winter.

Yep, I've never seen one like it on the net. There are sites that give pretty good route descriptions, but not searchable and extensive like this one.
