Have been looking at the Winter Climbing app for the last few days. Chapeau to whoever designed it.

Can anyone explain to me what it means if the routes have a line through them and are crossed out. Does it mean they haven't been in a climbable condition this season (e.g. ice routes where there is no ice?)? Or does it means something else ?

For those of you who don't know what it is you can find it here: https://www.winterclimbingforecasts.co.uk/

In reply to FreeloaderJoe:

Are crossed out routes not the ones you need to subscribe to get the forecast?

Take any forecast it provides with a hefty pinch of salt. It's useful for giving you ideas or narrowing down areas but not much use for predicting specific routes. 

I've seen a few people placing a worrying amount of faith in it when in my experience it is often very wrong indeed.
