your routes are yours, and sharing is always the climber's call.

the set calendar, off the whiteboard.

plan each swap from the route's page: strip date, go-live date, new route. your climbers see “leaving soon” in the app, so they get a last chance to send it.

a route goes live when you say it's on the wall, and only then.

an overdue scheduled replacement in the portal: unforgettable coming down at 5.11d and going back up at 5.10d, with its apply and edit buttons — swap day in one list: apply the change, or edit it if the wall isn't ready.

what to strip

see which routes went quiet.

you set what quiet means for each route type. a route that falls short in two weeks gets flagged, and new routes get two weeks before they're judged.

climbers say harder. under-loved. stale.

three lists to take into the setters' meeting.

the portal's routes page: the hierarchy tree and four routes, with the stale filter on

switch the filter and the list reshapes, with six sample routes.

the portal dashboard for the last 7 days: the metric chips, then most climbed routes as a bar chart, under-loved routes and climbers say harder

for your setters

you called it 5.10c.

the climbers who sent it climb 5.9 to 5.11b. the route's page shows their levels next to your grade and your target send rate.

only climbers who pulled on it can review it. and your setters get the credit: their name on the routes they set, in the app and the portal.

a route's chips: top rope, 5.10c, sent by climbers at 5.9 to 5.11b, and a 47% target — your 5.10c, read three ways: the senders' levels, the votes and the reviews. the call stays yours.

the same route's rating: 3.6 from 17 reviews, with 2 easier, 9 accurate and 6 harder votes — your 5.10c, read three ways: the senders' levels, the votes and the reviews. the call stays yours.

the setter card: five setters and the routes each one set — credit for the crew, in routes set and ratings earned.

the top setters by average route rating card: the same five setters and the average rating of their routes — credit for the crew, in routes set and ratings earned.

the dashboard

ask your dashboard a question.

“on average, how is the new set doing against its grade peers?” type it in plain words, and pbl answers with one number.

ask a follow-up, like “which routes are pulling it up? show the top five.” the number becomes a card. check it, pin it, and it follows your dashboard's date range.

the top new routes vs grade peers card on the dashboard: the same five routes as bars

the question, typed. one number back: 148.0% of its grade peers' traffic. one more question, and the number becomes a card: the five routes pulling it up.
