Alpinisme / Interactive Topo-GuideThe interactive Topo-guide gathers information continuously updated by the mountaineer community. It should not be viewed as a collection of separate files, even if the presentation seems like it is. All the information is divided into three parts:
- the Summit: e.g. "Mont Vélan"
- the Route: e.g. "via corridors W"
- the Outing : e.g.. "Pierre Fridez, on 07 April 2002"
- Summit: The summit describes the final aim of the climb. In general, this involves the name of a summit in a geographical sense, but it may also be the name of a pass or refuge in some cases.
- Route: The route describes the path leading to a summit. A summit can have several routes (ridge S, Face N...)
- Outing: The outing describes completion of a route by a member of the community on a given date.
