As a developer who wants to publish your work or a guidebook editor you know how much work it is to create and publish a climbing guide. Let alone keeping it current. Whether it’s your local crag that you are just trying to share the word about, or whether you’re selling commercial high quality print guidebooks, theCrag can help.
In 2007 we discovered the great potential for sport climbing in the Alto Mijares region. Some years and many new routes later we were looking for a good way to publish our little gem and found theCrag.com. Today we run a campsite and are happy to provide all climbing information for free through theCrag.com. We also sell a customized print version based on theCrag technology at the reception.

I came to Datca in 2011 and we developed this brand new crag with about 300 sport routes until 2016. The ease of keeping information about a crag in development current, distribute it worldwide instantly and the ability to still offer a printed version of it to climbers made me choose theCrag as the publishing platform for the guidebook.
