Improved summit locations & elevations
Since the launch of the new peakery, we’ve also fixed the locations of over 72,000 peaks and the elevation of more than 16,000 peaks. This is on top of the 1000s of valuable contributions from the peakery community.
Other tweaks
- added country and region names to every peak’s URL
- changed all existing unnamed peaks to the default ‘Peak 1,234 ft’ or ‘Peak 1,234 m’ naming-scheme
- fixed bug in Log climb date picker (Windows/Chrome)
- fixed the summits that show up on Challenge > Members pages
- fixed the summits that show up on Profile > Map
Why we’re doing this
peakery’s long-term goal is to become the world’s ultimate resource to plan, collect, and share your mountain hiking & climbing adventures. An important ingredient in this is accurate and comprehensive info for every mountain in the world. It’s going to take years of constant improvement to get there, but with your help we plan to keep chipping away at it.
