Now on summitx.info any user can add a mountain region - a valley or a gorge, which will simplify navigation and planning ascents.

Now any registered user can add valleys and gorges as mountain regions. Examples of added regions: Why this is valuable to the community The added region is automatically integrated into the hierarchy. All its mountains, passes, and routes are automatically linked to it. Those planning ascents, searching for routes, or studying the area will find it much easier to navigate: they can easily look up the 5As in Ak-Sai. They won't have to search for these 5As among all the 5As of the vast Kyrgyz Ala-Too range. The gorge gets its own page with the ability to ask questions about it on the forum, post or article specifically about this gorge. A visitor can easily see the boundaries of the valley, which can be especially useful for mountain tourists. How to add a gorge or valley It's very easy to do. A minimally formatted valley requires literally a few seconds.

### Website Update: Enhanced Features for Users * Mirror site for Russian users * Invitation-free registration * Internal link support for streamlined navigation

And a few more important news about the site Mirror for Russians \[beta] Since many people have problems accessing the site from Russia, it was decided to set up a mirror that should partially or completely solve the problem: . Everything is the same, but without circumvention tools. You probably saw a pop-up message about this mirror when you visited the site. To make it easier to remember the address, a link has been added to the Russian version of the site in the footer. Registration without invite codes Now you don't need an invite to register on the site! But you can still enter a friend's invite during registration to support their rating. Internal links To make it easier to link to routes, peaks, passes, or articles from articles and comments, support for internal links has been added. Simply insert a link to the desired object into the text, so that readers see a well-formatted link with the language already substituted, which is convenient for them. A few examples:

Users of the site can now edit mountaineering routes, add descriptions and draw tracks on the map, as well as create new routes.

Now every user of the site can edit alpine routes and add their own. In addition to the impersonal official name "via the right couloir of the S wall", you can add a folk name that is known to everyone. You can draw a route thread, and it will be displayed on the map. Write a detailed description of the route, with pictures, etc. It is important not to confuse this with reports and articles. This is precisely a general description of the route. An example of a more or less edited route: How to edit a route Click the edit button on the route page: You will be taken to the draft edits page. The draft can be saved and you can return to editing it later using the same button, or from your personal account. To draw or edit a route line, on the card with the map, you need to click the edit button (1), after which you can simply click on the map to add, delete or move points: By the way, take a look at the other buttons:

The New Year on summitx.info started with an update: a notification system has been added, allowing users to subscribe to articles about geographical objects and manage their subscriptions. The article cover system has also been revamped.

The site has undergone a New Year's update. There are many changes, and I'll cover the key ones. Notification System The site is gradually acquiring features that will make communication more comfortable. The introduction of notifications (the "bell" in the site header) is a logical continuation of this development. The system is quite complex, so there will likely be more work to eliminate errors. The notifications follow the site's concept - linking physically existing objects on Earth to the virtual space. Therefore, you can subscribe not just to "new articles," but to all articles posted for the peaks/routes of the Caucasus, or subscribe to new articles about a mountain or even a specific route that interests you. Subscribing to a Mountain Region/Peak/Route On the geographical object's page, you can subscribe to articles about it and all its child objects. For example, by subscribing to "Central Caucasus," I will receive notifications about stories about Bezengi, descriptions of new routes on Ushba, etc. Subscribing to a Library Section A subscription button for new articles in the library has appeared on the section page: Subscribing to a Forum Section
