Giant Jesus statue in a village, awaiting controversial installation on Mount Hatis.
An imposing sight in a small village near Yerevan – this giant Jesus statue is reportedly ready for its next, debated destination: the summit of Mount Hatis. Quite the juxtaposition seeing it here before the ascent.

Another proud and terrifying moment from last year - High Exposure at the Gunks. Ranked as the top most classic climb on Mountain Project right now #rockclimbing #climbing #trad #gunks #highe #mountainproject #funisnumberone

@devnull yeah, it's messy. And I'm mixed feelings on the whole matter. I don't think the scraping is completely unencumbered, but onX is gross to be asserting such claims on the user contributed content.
Someone shared with me https://12ft.io/https://www.climbing.com/news/mountain-project-openbeta-and-the-fight-over-climbing-data-access/ as well for background.

There is a lot of neat stuff about this #OpenBeta platform, but already I'm sad to see that they are scraping other platforms and appear to be relicensing the content to CC0.
Their discord is full of discussion where they debate whether that's even legal.
😑🤦

So, I'll be avoiding OpenBeta for now.

Even if there are paid features, it seems https://www.mountainproject.com is the active community.
