[Talk-GB] Cliff editing

[Keith]

I’m interested in adding missing rock-climbing cliffs here in Snowdonia. There are lots 🙂

Mostly obscure little ones, that can be quite a challenge to find when walking to visit for the first time due to bracken, no real path, etc.

Just checking … should the line of the cliff be at the top of the edge of the cliff, or at the bottom where rock-climbers naturally want to be setting up kit, etc.

As a climber, the need is to know where to walk to, best place for setting-up, etc. 

As an OSM mapper, maybe the issue is ‘where is the crag edge?’ ie the dangerous bit for walkers, general public, etc. 

Most existing crags seem to be mapped somewhere in ’the middle’ of the cliff, as a line of nodes, or the actual top edge. 

One ‘best practice’ might be to map the top edge of the actual cliff, and survey the path to where climbers mostly go to park their rucksacks, etc

Thanks.
