I also like the changes! I think it will be especially useful for those just getting into scrambling to compare the peaks.

Quit bitching like a little girl about others bitching about whatever they feel inclined to bitch about! You kind of sound like Roseanne Barr when she's hangry.

Have a snickers and get outside, lurid.

No, it's still there, under "routes" in the top navigation bar.

You all are giving up too easy! We CAN all agree on one never-to-be-changed-again-rating-system. We just need to have a meet-up-pizza-party, decide on what pizza flavor to order... oh wait that would be just as hard. Forget it! Thanks Bill - it all looks great!

And 12ersRule is right... it's about that time! :iluvbeer:

That’s it!
It was based on votes. There was also a place where members could vote what their opinion of what the order of difficulty was. It may have been referred to as “Rated by Difficulty”.

Yeah, I removed it and created the new page that’s:
1st) Grouped by class
2nd) Sorted by overall difficulty

Much better than the old user-ranked page

Any feedback on my original request to add additional details to the Export Peaks to File?
