U3 is a proposed open standard for creating a unique identifer for rock climbing routes.
- Currently rock climbing routes are cataloged independently by many crowd-sourcing platforms, OpenBeta, theCrag, MountainProject, 27 Crags...
- Each platform maintains their own unique identifer for the same climbing route or the boulder problem.
- Matching and cross-referencing the same climbs between platforms are difficult without a centralized registry or lookup tables.
Let's define a unique ID generation scheme that allows everyone to independently generate a globally unique and consistent ID for each climb.
