A collaborative
and open future
Built and run by climbers. OpenBeta is a nonprofit initiative dedicated to providing open access to data about rock climbing routes.
I have been building a weather website for Skiing and Climbing and thanks to OpenBeta, I was able to really make the climbing part of it a whole lot better!

Special thanks to the entire OpenBeta team for open-sourcing the climbing data, making it possible to create apps like Climb Lines.

So this is that futuristic project everyone has been talking about.
— Jacob Kissing
Climbers are keenly aware how easily land access can be lost, perhaps open climbing information should not be taken for granted either.
— Aaron Gerry, Climbing Magazine
Just as climbing should be open to everyone, the knowledge of these great experiences should be open to anyone willing to learn.
— Brody Lowe
OpenBeta summed up my thoughts extremely well. I believe the data that was curated by the community should stay open to community use.
— Raymond Fiscus
