Set up local summits for members to collect
A local summit is a climb near your club, such as the hill everyone knows. Members collect it every time they're at a club run whose route goes up it. You need the Editor or Owner role. Anyone on the committee can see the list.
Create a local summit
- Open Routes and choose Local summits.
- Choose Create local summit. The route planner opens in summit mode.
- Click the map at the bottom of the climb, then along it to the top. The line follows paths between points. Switch to Straight across open ground.
- Choose Save summit. Give it a Name, such as "Botley Hill", and a Note (optional), such as where it starts and ends.
- Choose Save.
Your club's other summits show on the map in amber, so you don't plot the same one twice.
Within a minute or two, Club Routes finds the club routes that go up it. The list shows how many, with each summit's length, climb and gradient.
Good to know
- A club can have up to 5 local summits. Delete one to add another.
- A summit must be between 100 m and 10 km long. Plot just the climb.
- If you plot it downhill, the planner tells you. Use Reverse direction (⇅ on the map) so it runs from the bottom to the top.
- A route counts only if it goes up the same way. Going down doesn't count, and going up twice counts twice.
- To change one, choose Change on the map. To delete one, choose Delete twice. Members' climbs of it no longer count.
What members see
On the club page, each route shows its local summits. Members get a Local summits card on their Me tab with their climbs this season, the season leaderboard and the King or Queen of each hill. Climbs come from the runs they're on the register for, so check-ins and the register matter. See Keep the register of who came.
Leaderboards only show members who switch on Show me on the summit leaderboards, by first name. When the season is over, the champion gets a post in the club feed.
