Template:Infobox climbing route/doc

This template can be used to create an infobox for articles about climbing routes.

Usage

This box includes the most often used parameters. Specify the coordinates for the start of the route.

Parameter descriptions

This table describes all the parameters available. Many are seldom used and a functional infobox can be created using the parameters listed above.

Parameter	Description
name	Name of the route, the article is likely disambiguated but this name in the infobox should be the undisambiguated name. For example, The Nose for The Nose (El Capitan). This field is required.
other_name	Other names by which the route is known.
photo	Photograph of the mountain. Preferably a distance shot to show most/all of the mountain rather than a view from the summit. Do not include the "Image:" prefix. If uploading a new image, please put them on Commons so they can be easily used by the other language Wikipedias.
photo_width	Determines the width of the photograph. The default and maximum value is 300px. Images with a horizontal orientation (landscape mode) will generally display well at the default setting. An image with vertical orientation (portrait mode) will need to be adjusted. For example, photo_width=200 and not photo_width=200px.
photo_alt	Alt text for the map. See WP:ALT.
photo_caption	Description of the photograph which is displayed below. Include the month and year if known.
map	The name of the location map to be displayed. See Map display methods. To use a static image, use |map_image=
map_image	The file name of a static map image to be displayed. To use a location map, use |map=.
map_width	Determines the width of the map. The default width is 220px and maximum width is 300px. For example, map_width=180 and not map_width=180px.
map_alt	Alt text for the map. See WP:ALT.
map_caption	The caption that will appear below the map if one is required.
relief	Selects a relief map when assigned any value. This is functional when a location map template is used. See Map display methods.
mark	A marker which shows the location of the route on a map. The default image is Red pog.svg. For more information, see Template:Location map.
marker_width	The width of the location marker image in pixels. Seldom used. The default width is 8px.
label_position	This seldom used parameter will generate a text label next to the a location marker. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. If no value is assigned to the label parameter below, the name will be used.
label	Text that will be displayed next to the location marker. See label_position above.
location	Province or state first, followed by country. For USA, the county is optional but if given, be provided before the state.
coords coordinates	For the {{Coord}} template.
coords_ref	Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using <ref>...</ref> tags.
climbing_area	Name of the climbing area. Example: Indian Creek.
route_type	Likely will refer to climbing style but should be described in the best possible way. Examples: Aid Climbing, Trad, Sport, Bouldering, Rock/Ice, alpine, or whatever makes sense.
vertical_gain	Vertical height of the climb from start to finish.
pitches	Traditional number of pitches used to complete the climb.
rating	Difficulty rating in what ever is the standard format for the area. See Grade (climbing).
grade	Roman numeral Grade that indicates the length and seriousness of the route in YDS Grade system. Range: Grade I (1-2 hour climb) to Grade VII (climb lasting a week or longer).
bolted_by	The individual who bolted the route, which may not be the first to climb it. Parameter used only for sport climbs.
established_by	The individual who explored the route and defined its path, which is typically also the first to climb it, but can be significant when it is not. Parameter used for traditional climbing, mountaineering and ice climbing. Please use bolted_by for sport climbs, and route_setter for artificial routes.
route_setter	The individual who designed the route (used only for artificial routes, such as the World's hardest indoor route at the Klättercentret Telefonplan).
first_ascent	The climber who first ascended the route, then the year of the ascent.
first_free_ascent ffa	The climber who first redpointed the route, then the year of the ascent. This is often the same as the first ascent but can be significant when it is not.
fastest_ascent	Significant for a few climbs, unimportant for most.

Map display methods

Any image file can be displayed as a map: pass the file name (without File: or Image: prefix) to |map=.

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{Coord}} template inside the |coordinates= parameter. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:

List of templates – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.

Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.

Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info – a search that might help.

Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ – another search that might help.

Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map – another search that might help.

All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is Location map/data/Canada. In this case specify |map=Canada.

Four Corners, Canada
Coordinates
First free ascent

{{Infobox climbing route
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }}
}}

By default, {{Coord}} displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter |display=inline,title can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.
