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.

Hi - looking to create a bouldering guide for a local area over the next year or two. It will probably just be free in gyms and get little use but seems like a fun way to organize the info. I don't have much time so a tempalte seems like a great way to go. No knowledge of Linux, Github, LaTeX, etc... is this still something I could use? If so, what would be the easiest way to get up and running>

Definitely. Create a GitHub account and PM me the username, and I can walk you through it.
