(→Parameter descriptions: days', weeks', months', and years' worth was missing the apostrophes to indicate possession of the noun) |
(Infobox has inadequate location information (include country), and lack of context regarding the term "National Forest" - technically these 2 words could refer to any nation! Also months' worth was missing the apostrophe (punctuation error)) |

This template can be used to create an infobox for articles about climbing areas. It holds information relevant to climbers. Format of some information content was inspired by Tim Toula's Rock 'n' Road guidebooks[3].

Parameter descriptions
This table describes all the parameters available. Many are seldom used and a functional infobox can be created using the parameters listed above.
| Field name | Description |
|---|---|
name |
Required. The name of the climbing area. It will be displayed at the top of the infobox. In most cases this should be the same as the article name less any disambiguation. For example if the article title is Seneca Rocks then name=Seneca Rocks.
|
alt_name |
If there is a common English name for the climbing area use it for the name parameter. This parameter can be used to display the name in the local language or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup.
|
photo |
The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed. |
photo_width |
Can be used to change the display width of the image.The default width is 240 pixels and maximum is 272px,. Images with a horizontal orientation (landscape mode) will generally display well at the default setting. An image with vertical orientation (portrait mode) may need to be adjusted to 180px or less. For example photo_width=200 and not photo_width=200px.
|
photo_alt |
Alt text for the photo, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT. |
photo_caption |
The caption that will appear below the image if one is required. |
location |
The location of the climbing area. Don't be too precise. County, state and country are good in the USA. If the area is within a city specify the city, state and country. If the park is in multiple counties just list the state and country. For areas in other countries adjust accordingly. |
nearest_city |
Recommended if the climbing area is not in a city. It could be a city or large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available. |
| Map related parameters | |
map |
The name of the map to be displayed. See Map display methods. |
map_width |
Can change the display width the map. The default width is 240 pixels and maximum is 272px, but usually the map can be smaller. For example map_width=200 and not map_width=200px.
|
map_alt |
Alt text for the map. See WP:ALT. |
map_caption |
The caption that appears below the map if one is required. |
label |
A text message that will be displayed next to the mark. Works with label_position below. Seldom used.
|
label_position |
Specifies the position of a label with respect to the mark. This is not functional when using the pixel coordinates method for map display. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. See label above.
|
relief |
Selects a relief map when assigned any value. This is not functional when using the pixel coordinates method for map display. See Map display methods. |
mark |
The image used for the mark on a map. The default is Red pog.svg. Look here for other images. |
xy |
Specifies the position of the location mark. The mark will be centered at the pixel coordinates based on an image width of 1000 pixels. The template will scale these values for proper display. See below |
x%y% |
Specifies the position of the location mark. Where x% specifies the percentage of the distance across the image from the left edge and y% specifies the percentage of the distance down from the top edge. |
| Coordinate related parameters | |
coords |
For the {{Coord}} template. Will not generate a location mark if a map template is used. When this option is used the type, region, scale, source, format and display parameters are not functional but this data can be entered in the Coord template. The defaults should be type:landmark and display:inline,title.
|
lat_d |
The degrees of latitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified. See below. |
lat_m |
The minutes of latitude. |
lat_s |
The seconds of latitude. |
lat_NS |
N if north of the equator, S if south of the equator. Other values will be disregarded. |
long_d |
The degrees of longitude. This value can be specified as a decimal degree and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified. See below. |
long_m |
The minutes of longitude. |
long_s |
The seconds of longitude. |
long_EW |
E if East of the prime meridian, W if west of the prime meridian. Other values will be disregarded. |
coords_ref |
Can be used with either coordinate display method above. Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using <ref>...</ref> tags.
|
coords_type |
Type is one way to specify the scale of maps generated by external map websites. See type for valid values. The default value is landmark. If no type is appropriate consider using the scale parameter below.
|
scale |
Determines the zoom factor for external map websites. See scale. The value is 1:10,000 for the default type which is landmark. Using scale=50000 will change the zoom to 1:50,000.
|
region |
A country code. See ISO 3166-2:US, ISO 3166-2 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. For example US-OR is the code for Oregon. This computer readable code is recommended. It will not be displayed. See region. |
source |
Source of the coordinate data. See source. For example gnis or ngs, etc. It will not be displayed. Not all possible values are recognized. |
format |
Determines the format of the coordinates displayed. Valid values are dms for degrees, minutes and seconds, and dec for decimal degrees. The default value is dms.
|
display |
Determines where the coordinates will be displayed. Valid values are inline and inline,title and their variants. The default is inline,title and is recommended.
|
| Climbing information parameters | |
climbing_type |
Climbing Type |
height |
Height of the rock formations measured from the base. |
pitches |
Number of pitches for the tallest or most predominant routes. |
ratings |
Difficulty ratings of majority of good quality climbs found at the climbing area. Measured in standard format for the area. |
grades |
Roman numeral Grade that indicates the length and seriousness of the routes in YDS Grade system. Range: Grade I (1-2 hour climb) to Grade VII (climb lasting a week or longer). |
rock_type |
Geological Rock classification |
quantity |
Quantity of rock measured in number of established climbs and/or in time it might take traveling climber to climb majority of good quality routes. Time measure, especially useful for areas without up-to-date guidebooks, is obviously subjective and is meant only as order of magnitude estimate of quantity of climbing. Possible amounts could be: days', weeks', months', and years' worth of climbing. |
development |
Development or fraction of established climbs as compared to potential number of climbs. Undeveloped or minimally developed areas might have high potential for climbers looking for first assents, while well developed areas might be characterized by official guidebooks (which do not change much from edition to edition), and little potential for high quality new assents. Partially developed areas might be somewhere in between with good number of establish climbs but still high potential for high quality new routes. |
aspect |
Cliff aspect or general direction majority of climbs face. |
season |
Most comfortable climbing season with reasonable temperatures, dry rock, accessible roads and approach, etc. |
elevation |
Elevation of the area if it is noteworthy. The {{convert}} template should be used. |
ownership |
Ownership of the land |
access |
Climbing access |
camping |
Information on availability of free and paid camping within 5 mile radius |
classic_climbs |
Must-do classic climbs in the area, that should not be missed by visiting climbers with limited time. If possible list climbs from beginner (<5.8), intermediate (5.9-5.10), and expert (5.11-5.15) level categories. |
stars
|
Climbing area over-all quality rating. It can be quite subjective, however most of the areas noteworthy enough to have Wikipedia articles will have stars. The scale used follows the one in Tim Toula's guidebooks[3] where:
Those guidebooks might be a good starting point for choosing number of stars for US climbing areas. |
