GPS trail data

Postby tracstarr » Sun Jun 04, 2006 6:45 pm

hey, for those with a gps or for even just looking on a map, I've started maping out the trails to climbing locations using my new (woo hoo) gps. You can find the track log on my site http://www.tracstarr.com under downloads. I've only got Sorrows end right now, but it's a start. It's pretty cool actually. You can finally see the path that was cut. You can also follow the elevation changes. For those without a gps you can load the file into google earth to get a great perspective.

anyway, have fun, and keep checking back. Once this rain leaves i'll be back on the rock adding more trails as I got to differnet places.

Great track to sorrow's end. It would assist others on occasion to provide waypoints in addition to the valuable track info you provided. Just a thought.

THanks. I look forward to your next posting. I hope I can send you some NB routes I have.

Just in case anybody was wondering!

A geek (pronunciation /gi:k/ ) is a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by obscure or very specific areas of knowledge and imagination. Geek may not always have the same meaning as the term nerd.

Nerd, as a stereotypical or archetypal designation, refers to somebody who pursues intellectual interests at the expense of skills that are useful in a social setting, such as communication, fashion, or physical fitness.

I assume this is also a synonym for 'gear whore' which is my preferred term.

Unless your quickdraws have a "microcomputer" in them it's not quite the same thing.

what you really need is your harness to tell you when you've run out of quick draws on particualr gear loop.

Or maybe something that would keep an inventory of what gear you have put in, than get e-mailed to the person who seconds it.
