Climb Notes are flexible and organized by topic.

"notes": [
  {"topic":   "history",
   "content": "Alan Watts bolted it, ground-up on lead in 1985. Despite the respectable style by modern standards, it caused moderate uproar at the time.  Watts projected it himself but didn't send. Jean-Baptiste Tribout, visiting from France in 1986, sent it, calling it 5.14a. The first 5.14 in America. The next few years brought ascents from the whos-who of late 80s climbers: Scott Franklin, Jerry Moffatt, Ron Kauk. Alan Watts came back in '89 for his own ascent. Since then, we've seen it go from a route for the elite to impressive goal for some of the most talented amateurs.",
  {"topic":   "elevator pitch",
   "content": "The name asks: should bolts like this exist? load up on quickdraws an find out!"},
  {"topic":   "beta",
   "content": "The first 1/3 is a warm-up of crimps and stems to a no-hands at the third bolt. The crux is the next 25 feet: small crimps and side pulls on a slight overhang, no real rests, exit on a long lock-off to a sidepull rail. Above the crux, a knee-bar rest if you weight it right. The headwall is 5.12+ on big holds."},
  {"topic":   "locating",
   "content": "Begins from above a pointed boulder. Right of the arete two small roofs (Last Waltz), left of Sunshine Dihedral."}

Each climb can carry a comprehesive selection and particular notes can be extracted when publishing.

A rating can be just the difficulty (from any scale you want to use).

{"difficulty": "5.8+"}

Often, just difficulty isn't a full picture, so style and protection are supported.

{
  "difficulty": "5.10",
  "style":      "trad",
  "protection": "PG"
}

Photos have climb layers and area layers for drawing on photos. Origin is at the top-left corner, and points are fractional offsets that easily map to thumbnails as well as the original image.

Climbs are a simple path.

[
  { "climb_uuid": "fc67fb9f-acae-4ac4-afbc-f7227af9a287",
    "path": [{ "left_offset": 0.58359, "top_offset": 0.48041 },
             { "left_offset": 0.53799, "top_offset": 0.1947  }] },
  { "climb_uuid": "d1d596d4-c818-4e64-a648-3656c968f175",
    "path": [{ "left_offset": 0.66109, "top_offset": 0.45407 },
             { "left_offset": 0.63678, "top_offset": 0.38112 },
             { "left_offset": 0.57447, "top_offset": 0.26765 },
             { "left_offset": 0.53647, "top_offset": 0.1947  }] }
]

Areas are a ring (note that the first and last points are identical).

[
  {
    "area_uuid": "fcbb20b7-064d-4957-92a7-ce8cbe41e0c1",
    "polygon": [{ "left_offset": 0.23503, "top_offset": 0.78014 },
                { "left_offset": 0.24805, "top_offset": 0.2472  },
                { "left_offset": 0.6947,  "top_offset": 0.0996  },
                { "left_offset": 0.8314,  "top_offset": 0.6881  },
                { "left_offset": 0.23503, "top_offset": 0.78014 } ]
  }
]

A catalog is a straightforward layout of JSON files and images.

This strikes a useful balance between structure and accessibility.
