I shared this project a while back, but I have made several improvements since the last time so figured I would share it again. It also seems MP is deprecating public access to the API so the future is uncertain and thought I would let those interested in using the route pyramid method of progression see how their tick list stacks up while they still can (hopefully MP doesn't completely kill the API...).
Hm. I just tried this, and it only seems to pull routes up to 11b for me. I also found the categories strange - for instance, 'send' is one, but so is 'redpoint'. It also puts the style in which the route is climbed (TR, solo, lead), in the same pyramid as send/fell etc. Also, the colors are pretty whacked, dark grey representing both redpoint and fell/hung.
Looks like I have some more improvements to make. I haven't seen send before, and I can't select anything that says send on new MP ticks...I wonder if that is an old option that isn't available anymore? I think you generated more categories than what I tested with (probably due to send being an option) causing color dupes, I'll look into that. I think I see what is causing the 11b cutoff, should be an easy fix. Thanks for the feedback!
"Send" is an option on boulder routes, however it's only accessible when recording a tick via the web app (I haven't found it on the mobile app). Send/attempt/flash are all Style options on the web app.
^Because of this, bouldering data will likely be pretty different for people.
Ah I see Flash/Send/Attempt on boulder problem tick options (guess who doesn't do a lot of bouldering... :|). I'll see about cleaning that up, thanks for the info!
edit: Hrm, my old bouldering ticks show Lead/Redpoint, so I wonder if that was a fairly recent change.
Cool idea for a web app btw. Looking forward to the improvements.
Routes harder than 11b are only speculative anyway. Nobody actually climbs that hard.
