Point taken. We will look into when we go about implementing CF Mail. Cheers, Jon

Why not to post ages of climbers? I am a 26 yr old female and would be more comfortable reaching out to people in their 20s and 30s, and think I would use this service more if I could screen climbers based upon that in addition to climbing ability.

20 Sep - Jonathon Kresner replied:

I guess most people would not give their real age for this system, so I didn't think that it would be worth asking for it and making the registration process one bit more complicated.

Hi guys. Bit of confusion about the peak district. There seems to be "the peak" "the peaks" and "peak" does this take you to the same page? Do they all need combining under one name? Do I need to post under all three to ensure a partner call is read? Cheers Jim

20 Sep - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Thanks for pointing that out. We've cleaned it up, hope it's less confusing now. We are finding it increasingly challenging to manage all the places that users add as the site continues to grow. We are putting together a team of moderators for 2010 to help us keep track of all the places around the world and quality of content associated with them. If it interests you, drop us a line by email

Quick feedback regarding my user experience: I had a bit of trouble finding how to filter the feed by tags. I was looking for somewhere to "search the feed". I'd recommend allowing text search of the feed, with optional filtering by tags (maybe in the form of a dropdown select input allowing me to specify the tag to filter by) Thanks for such a great site! Sam

14 Sep - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Thanks, we are revising the feed to be more simple should be updated by the end of the week.

Hey Jonathon... How do i start up a club on this thing . I cant find the option.

14 Sep - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Clubs are a deprecated feature of Climbfind.

09 Aug - Tim Camuti wrote:

Not sure what the point of "watching" another climber is. Or if others are watching me, what do I say to them/ how do I say it?

09 Aug - Jonathon Kresner replied:

The point of watching climbers is that they appear in the "Climbers" channel on your homepage feed. This way you can keep track of where specific climbers / friends are climbing rather than seeing the latest posts.

03 Aug - Luke Hutchings wrote:

Krez, can you quickly knock up an iPhone version so I can take climbfind with me everywhere! Go on will only take 5mins ;-)

Yes, I promise we are only weeks away from Iphone support :)

02 Aug - Devin Teskey wrote:

Most of the outdoor areas in Alberta don't show up when I go to post a call. Any suggestions?

02 Aug - Jonathon Kresner replied:

YES! Places need to be tagged with Area Tags. This is how Climbfind knows to bring up the right places for the area pages (say http://www.climbfind.com/climbing-around/canada/alberta) and the homepage feed. To tag a place, go to its page and find the link that says "Edit details" on that screen you can add area tags.

where is the (local or otherwise) for sale, trade, barter section??? I've got a pair of EVO Evolv 12.5 shoes to sell?

02 Aug - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Point taken! I have just added a new tag #GearTradeOrSale for the homepage feed. Make your post there and tag it accordingly :)

01 Aug - Benny Kong wrote:

Live texting on this site would be great but I'm sure that would mean a wider bandwidth.

At this time we don't have the resources to offer the feature, but it would be very cool :)

Why are the dates and times wrong on the Partners listings? For example, I posted a call today (Tuesday 28 July) and the listing says "06:30 PM Fri 28 Aug"

31 Jul - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Partner calls are now 'Date independent'. I.e. you post a partner call if you want partners but not for a specific date. If you want to climb at a certain time, post to the new Climbing feed on the homepage.

21 Jul - Stuart wrote:

How do I delete posts I put a while back? i.e. for the Westway I posted a request that is around 51 in the list, dated May. I would like to delete it, as May has gone and also It has my mobile in it.

Go to your "My calls" page (http://www.climbfind.com/PartnerCalls/MyCalls)

Stay tuned... we have thoughts for how to solve this problem and hope to look into it during Aug.

03 Jun - Mateusz Loskot wrote:

What about new feature that would allow to build partners/friends network? It may duplicate some facebook functionality, perhaps, though I think it would be useful to be able to bookmark people who we have climbed with.

02 Aug - Jonathon Kresner replied:

We have introduced the homepage climbing feed in CF3. It has what we call the "Climbers" channel. You can watch specific climber (including friends) and keep up to date with where they are climbing.

I can't send messages to other members at the moment. Every time I try, I'm asked to verify my email address. I click to do so but do not receive an email in the inbox of my yahoo account.

26 May - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Please check your spam box. In the meantime you can reach people by posting on their message board. Climbfind will notifiy them by email (assuming they don't have problems getting emails from Climbfind). We will work with you to work out why you are not seeing your climbfind mail.

18 May - Graeme wrote:

Any chance of a forum of some description? I know that other climbing sites have them but the majority seem to either have very little use or appear very cliquish and not much of a community type affair.

19 May - Jonathon Kresner replied:

We've had this dicussion internally many times. We feel that Climbfind is quite unique as far a climbing sites come and adding a forum would be going backwards. We also don't want to spend time moderating a forum. Because we have received many requests to start one we re-address the issue every couple of months and may open one in the future. We would prefer to find something else that is a bit more 'new age'...

Hi, did i see before that this site had a trip post, thing...? not like the post under this, but like a trip call. If your going to spain for a week or 2 andhave a free space in the car etc, or if you wanna meet some poeple what you get out there? As i dont really plan where i wanna go, but if there are some people goin the lake district that wanna climb an party, i may pop ova! that is without looking for calls on each an every outdoor site. sorry i may just not be able to find it, as sure ive seen something like this here before. cheers stu

15 May - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Hmmmmm... we took trips down because we didn't feel like it was being used well, but integrating trips into partner calls seems like a great idea. We have just finished a round of development so won't be coding too much while on our road trip but this one is to leave in the todo list. Cheers!

Hi there, Love your website. Best thing about it is its for climbers, by climbers... i.e. not commercial.

See www.gochamonix.com for info. Only £250-300 per week for up to 6 people in a mini-chalet with gear storage space & parking outside the front door. Cheers, Ian. >>> The guy has entered a minimal profile, with no picture, and doesn't appear to be contributing to the shared resource. I would suggest that if he wants to advertise on climbfind (as opposed to engaging with the community), it should be presented (and paid for?) as such. No disrespect to Ian Maxwell, but I think it would be a shame if such a great resource as Climbfind suffer the same fate as many other sites, and end up as a tawdy, online billboard. Can we have some guidelines on commercial postings? Just a suggestion, RoryG

22 Apr - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Hi Rory, we will have an advertising guidelines page up by mid may that will include spaces on the site to advertise, costs and also a contributions scheme to get free ads :)

07 Mar - Jonathon Kresner replied:

You can now add more yourself. I'm not sure we will credit ABC members as we have no association with ABC (they have not contacted us) and we wish to make the site global so it won't be relevant in the bigger picture...

I can't help but notice its been a while now since I suggested adding a couple of walls. I know you guys have been busy adding other features so I'm not complaining but it would be good to get my walls up so I can participate a bit more. For future reference the BMC have a downloadable directory of climbing walls (http://www.thebmc.co.uk/Feature.aspx?id=2234) you might want to refer to when adding new locations.

The Climb London group of walls isn't featured on the list in London. They have a number of walls, one in hendon, one in swiss cottage and others in south and east london. There's a website with them all listed. They are small walls and are relatively cheap to climb at (around £6.00 to £8.50), which is good when you're climbing a few times a week.

04 Feb - Marco wrote:

nice site, only been using it for 20 minutes. Noticed a usability issue on the partner search which isn't a big deal, I just felt like typing something. Before signing in its clear who's looking for a partner but once signed in it did'nt make much sense telling me what i have and haven't done. I'd rather still see who wants a partner and perhaps a small notification on the side or top alerting me of my activity. Anyhow again, nice site. ill be using it regularly.

08 Feb - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Hi Marco, I'm aware the partner summary page is very good. Since we have added the profile search feature it has become even worse :( and we will do a massive revamp of it in the near future to also let you access all the messaages people have sent you. I will be seeking your approval on our work. Thanks for stopping by!

After a certain amount of failed password attemps the system locks your account and won't send you email. If you are having lot's of trouble email us and we will help get to the bottom of the problem :)

29 Jan - Peter Tecks wrote:

The other thought off the top of my head was a trip announcement area. People can post when/where they are going climbing and invite locals or others who want to travel there at the same time to meet up with them. I usually do this via facebook, but of course that doesn't reach people I'm not friends with so adding the functionality here would be great, especially for really social climbing such as bouldering for example or if someone needs a partner for a specific trip. A vital part of this would be the ability to "watch" a crag or region for new trips being posted (possibly with criteria like bouldering/trad/sport and so on for refinement once the site gets busy) with optional e-mail alerts being sent out notifying people and linking to the newly created trip so they can ask questions/join etc. Sorry for going on a bit...

29 Jan - Peter Tecks wrote:

I've got a couple of ideas so I'm dropping them here as requested: At the moment it seems adding a location I climb at puts me on the "Regulars" list. I think it would be great to be able to customise that further to give people a better idea of who really is a fixture somewhere and who only shows up from time to time. ie having "daily, 2-3 times a week, once a week, 2-3 times a month, occaisional" categories. You could even go so far as to allow people to specify their usual training times by day of the week and morning/afternoon/evening/all day. I think that would really help match people better so I could instantly see for example that someone trains at X on a tuesday evening, at Y on a thursday afternoon and then climbs in the Peaks all weekend.

23 Jan - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Because I'm the only one that spends time building Climbfind, the messaging system is fairly crude. If the site takes off in a big way and begins to generate lot's of $$ I would hire someone fix it, but there is lots of other great stuff I'm working on building first. I would suggest once making contact, converse via email or phone. You can always just send them a fresh message too. Sorry if this causes any inconvinience and your point is totally valid :(

Hey Krez, Nice site! You may want to think about linking in with the database that http://bouldr.net has. I wouldn't see you two pages as competition and I would say they have a database of climbing areas that may be good to feed into yours. Just an idea. Cheers, Robin

For now Climbfind is a niche indoor climbing site. If we get pressure from the community to make a move into outdoor at a later stage we will look into it.

Thank you for bring our attention to this, we love it when people ask to add their walls that we have missed. We will try to add your wall next week )

Hey Krez, great idea and cool site. how about allowing members to have a more detailed profile particularly regarding their climbing history / experience. You could build an application to allow climbers to upload some sort of an outdoor climbing scorecard detailing the routes they did / ticked, locations they have been to, projects they are working on, as well as comments on routes they recommend etc...This could also fit in nicely with any future plans you may have to allow members finding outdoor climbing partners...Anyway, I'm impressed with your site and watching that space :)

14 Nov - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Wicked ideas. We will work hard to improve the climber profile page with great suggestions like this over the next few months, so keep your eyes open.

I'd prefer to give out my email than my phone number... know what i mean. But cool site. Drop me a line and i'll get you Amiras email. jack@theukrocks.com

11 Nov - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Giving out your phone number is completely optional (I know I wouldn't do it even on my own site! but many people are comfortable with it). If you want to contact someone via email, just use the send message button on their profile :)

Krez, you focusing on just the social networking aspects of this site or also in what you could potentially do with the content you collate? My advice is that you think long and hard about different ways you could potentially organise this information better, in particular how you may get others to add content for you and what this may do for first timers coming to your site. For example - find your nearest climb centre through putting in your postcode. Shit like that will give first timers a bit more satisfaction in coming to the site and increase your page impressions - which advertisers love. Once you build up that kind of functionality engagement can be pushed through the social aspects. Hope you find that useful. keep well bud! Cheers, andrew

07 Nov - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Yes, this is great advice and I'm trying very hard to think along these lines. One of the big ideas that I had was to build a feature where users could blog about their climbing trips. Then when other users are looking at outdoor climbing locations (say the closest near there postcode! great idea..) they can read up and view pictures of other peoples experiences there. I hope to get around to building this feature before next march, but it seems like a big job and I'm trying to focus all my energy on marketing for the next 8 weeks so we will see how things unfold.

Hey Krez, is it possible to get a "change your email address" thingy or am I just not looking in the right place?

30 Oct - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Unfortunately Climbfind was built on top of other technology that does not let users do this. We have no plans to fix this in the short term. If you need your email address changed we can do it for you manually. Feel free to email us at contact@climbfind.com

Great looking site Jon - move the comma in the following sentence to after the word website or remove it completely. (I recommend removing it) "ClimbFind.com is a free, website that helps you meet people in your climbing community. " Don't worry - I will have more substantive feedback later - just getting started!

20 Oct - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Fixed the commas thanks :)

Is it possible to make a 'see who is online in your area' and an online chat facility? Likewise, if you know you are going overseas and looking to climb in that place, it would be equally useful to be able to have live chat with someone who lives there who might also be online.

16 Oct - Jonathon Kresner replied:

Awesome ideas! As the user base grows we plan to build feautres to let you search for other users. Having status upadates, or a "where are you now" would be a great feature to look into. As for online chat... it would be great, but a bit difficult to build at this point in time. Who knows if everything goes well maybe take another look into it in 6 months :)

Hey krez, great website!! This will definately be an asset to anyone looking to go climbing around the world!! ust a minor thing - when you pick 'nationality' it lists countries. I am not 'Australia' - I am 'AustraliaN' if that makes sense. Did you maybe mean 'Country in which you reside?' Keep up the good work!! Ev.
