[OSM-talk] Tagging climbing routes and scrambles

[OJ W]

That makes sense -- the top and bottom of a climbing route should be two
nodes separated by a way which indicates that it's fairly difficult to
travel between the two.  On our 2D map they'll be nearly on top of each
other, which is correct but a bit difficult to visualise.  Perhaps the ele=x
m tag would be useful here - so that if someone actually tries creating a 3D
map of a crag they'll have data to work with...
