I built a little tool to help climbers find rocks, crags, routes and mountains and spend less wandering around. Mountain Project is a popular site used by climbers to find routes, and I used their API to allow users of the site to generate files compatible with GPS devices.
Click Here to generate a GPX file with route names, descriptions, latitude and longitude, as well as other GPS data from your MountainProject todo list.
This is a python script that hits the public-facing MountainProject API , reads the todo list for a username, and returns a GPX file with waypoints for each climb. Simply load up your MountainProject todo list, Open it in Google Earth or your favorite GPS app, and you’ll see the routes and ratings for that sweet hand crack you’ve been eyeing, just like the image below:
This app uses gpxpy to generate the GPS waypoints and XML schema. It’s a Flask web application deployed on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. If you’re interested in the source code, you can find it at https://github.com/Sassberto/MP-GPX
