Multipitch è l’app per chi scala sul Gran Sasso. Contiene una raccolta, in continuo aggiornamento, di itinerari alpinistici aperti sul massiccio Abruzzese. Le relazioni sono corredate di foto, descrizioni e suggerimenti utili a ripetere le vie. Multipitch è un progetto realizzato da una comunità di appassionati e professionisti della montagna, che in modo volontario e gratuito ne curano i contenuti e lo sviluppo. È dedicata a tutti quelli che frequentano e scalano sulla montagna più alta dell’appennino. Non troverete falesie e monotiri ma solo itinerari di arrampicata su vie alpinistiche, più comunemente dette “Vie Lunghe”. Alcune tra le principali caratteristiche dell’app Multipitch: - motore di ricerca dell’itinerario; - itinerari catalogati per settore di scalata; - possibilità di salvare nell’iPhone le vie che si vuole ripetere per consultarle anche in parete e in totale assenza di segnale; - lista intelligente con le vie consultate di recente; - lista intelligente con le vie pubblicate di recente dalla redazione; - lista intelligente con le vie aggiornate di recente dalla redazione; - utilizzo dei gradi con scala UIAA; - condivisione delle vie direttamente nell’app; - scansione e apertura della via tramite QR-Code; - credits e informazioni sugli autori dei contenuti mostrati; - tabella comparativa scale di difficoltà UIAA, Francese, YDS; - decodifica delle scale di difficolta; Nel 2018 il Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga ha riconosciuto il progetto Multipitch concedendo il patrocinio ufficiale dell’ente. Multipitch è gratuita e resterà gratuita per sempre. Se ti piace e vuoi contribuire al progetto puoi farlo in uno dei seguenti modi: - se trovi delle imprecisioni non prendertela e inviaci un feedback tramite l’app. Suggerimenti e correzioni sugli itinerari alpinistici che hai ripetuto ci aiuteranno a migliorare e mantenere sempre aggiornate le informazioni; - se non trovi in elenco una via che hai ripetuto e conosci bene non criticarci, unisciti alla community e curane i contenuti. Scrivi la relazione possibilmente corredata di foto, aggiungi i tuoi suggerimenti e inviacela; - se vuoi sostenere economicamente il progetto puoi farlo con una piccola donazione. I soldi raccolti verranno usati per “pagare le bollette” ovvero tutte le spese necessarie a tenere in piedi il progetto nel tempo;
