For all fellow rock climbers out there

Good day, HN.

As my latest weekend project, I've created an online guidebook for rock climbers which contains information about various climbing areas, sectors and routes. It's available at http://toprope.me

I'm personally a rock climber as well and I think that all existing solutions (websites) are not really easy to use. Here's what I tried to fix:

- Content-first approach. - Powerful parametrized search. - Mobile friendly. - Offline support (via HTML5 Offline).

I'm also planning to expose a REST API in the near future.

Again, the website is available at http://toprope.me

P.S. Only sport routes for now, no boulders or trads.

It seems like anything with a space doesn't work, e.g.: http://toprope.me/?q=san+francisco -> Please connect to the Internet in order to view the page you requested.

Thanks, I've just fixed this bug.
