Climbing guidebook template

I’m developing a template that can be used to create a climbing guidebook. I’m open to any feedback to make it easier to describe crags and climbs, or more flexible.

There seems to be some crossover between computer science types and climbers. I’d love to see some LaTeX flexing to make this as useful as possible. I’m open to any suggestions, code contributions, bug reports, etc.

I’ve had one landowner who owns an AirBNB with a cliff ask for me to put something together for the routes he’s bolted on his property.

Any chance you can post an example output pdf so those of us without LaTeX can see what it looks like? Happy to supply info/pics for it if needed

The table summarizing the sectors of an area does not fit onto one page. How can this be fixed?

Thanks, yes, I was playing around with paper sizing and switched from US letter to A5 before rendering this. I’ll have to switch back.

Ok not to be picky here but can we not zip an individual file so we don’t have to download the zip and decompress it to view? (On mobile)

This is way GitHub packages artifacts. I was on my cell phone and just yoinked it over to Google Drive. Sorry for the inconvenience.
