Half A Million Climbs Logged by UKC'ers

© philkemp
You hear it now and again from certain forum heads, "They are all armchair climbers", or "What do they know? None of them climb."

Not so of course.

Nick Smith, UKClimbing.com's designer and webmeister reports:

"Today we reached half a million logged climbs on the database, with a lead of West Rib at Dinas Mot: www.ukclimbing.com/logbook

Started in 2000, 8a.nu is still ahead with 850,000 logs, but we have overtaken thecrag.com who have 350,000 logs, and rockclimbing.com with only 175,000 logs.

We are nearly doubling in size every 12 months, and growing at more than twice the rate of 8a.nu. Will we reach 1 million in 2009?"

There are now details of some 88,000 different climbs from all over the world: www.ukclimbing.com/logbook

And all that despite the bloody weather.

Climb on!

Surely the logbook should lose the "Beta" tag from it's title? There may be quite a few features on peoples respective wishlists but its certainly not beta software. Cheers Tim

Major Logbook upgrade coming soon when we will lose the Beta tag. We have an extensive ToDo list for the system, and we will be upgrading the Crag Database system at the same time and properly integrating the two systems together. Some stats: 87,975 routes added by 1,846 users 530,074 logged climbs from 4,999 users Be the 5,000th Logbook! Start one today! Alan

Lol "coming soon". Is that normal persons "coming soon". Or like the training diary/microsoft minutes coming soon. :) Cheers Tim

In this case it is a real 'coming soon' although I accept that you do have a point! UKC is currently moving to a new faster server and this work should be finished next week. Then I think Nick has a short holiday and the next project after that is Logbooks/Databases. Funds have been allocated! Alan
