Sloper Ice & Mixed is a step towards our vision for the future of digital climbing resources —it’s a place for all of us to contribute to the history of Canadian winter climbing. Why is it different than (X)? The core design principle of this platform is that everyone should feel empowered to contribute to the upkeep of route descriptions, condition reports, and the epic history of winter ascents that will inspire the next generation of climbers. Sloper: Ice & Mixed uses a temporal database to preserve every version of a route description. That means you’ll never overwrite someone else’s contribution, and you can explore how a route has evolved over time. You’re also free to refine descriptions as you go, building on the history rather than replacing it.
