• To edit a guide log in as a registered user and you should see a button on the top left of the page "Edit this Guide". Press this and the guide goes in to edit mode.
• Once in edit mode, press the Edit button on a particular climb or piece of text to edit it.
• Once you've edited the details press Save to save your changes, or Cancel to discard them.
• To insert a climb or problem, scroll down to where your new climb fits in the guide and choose "climb" or "problem" from the appropriate <select> and press Insert. Fill out the fields and press Save when done.
• If the route is a sport route, cut and paste the "Þ" symbol into the Extra field. Your route will now appear in the crag summary chart as a sport climb.
• To insert a block of text or heading, choose text in the drop down then click insert. For a heading change the style drop down to heading 2 or heading 3.
• You can also add photos and topos. First attach your image to the page first using Tools -> Attachments in the top right of screen. Then upload your image.
• Then back in the guide choose "image" from the <select> and insert. When inserting an image select an appropriate width for display on the screen. The PDF generator uses the full resolution but resizes on the page to fit a column or full page. You can optionally flag an image not to appear in the printed guide.
• For images that will be printed in the guide, we require 300 dpi. Minimum width of images is 500 pixels, maximum 1800 pixels.
• Please see the style manual for descriptions and topos below.

The following points give tips on how to write consistent text and route descriptions.

• Grammar: Please use correct grammar and punctuation in climb descriptions, including correct use of capitals and proper sentences. Avoid txt style abbreviations. Remember it will be published in a book.
• *Capitilisation: *Headings and climb names should be capitalised in *T*itle *C*aseTitle Case.
• Punctuation: always a always place a space after fullstop, comma, colon or semi-colon, but never before.
• Spacing: only ever a single space. No blank lines.
• No space between the number and "m" or "km" where its a length eg "123m" not "123 m"
• Try to keep line breaks to a minimum, as they chew up space. But line breaks in a multi pitch climb are OK, they make it much more readable.
• For multipitch, the format is:
  1. 30m 18. Blah.
  2. 25m 26. Blah blah.
• Note - no brackets at all, use a dot after the pitch number and a dot after the grade.
• Generally put Put each pitch on a new line.
• For climbs, include the first ascent in the FA box. For boulders, no FA is recorded.
• No "FA" text is needed, just the name and date of the first ascensionist. FFA is ok in that case. Full names are preferred if available, otherwise like "J. Nermut" with a space after the full stop.
• Dates: Standard format is the 3 letter abbreviated month (with no full stop) with the full year. e.g. Jun 1974 or Dec 2007. Full stop at the end of the FA info.
• *Abbreviations: *Abbreviations for L and R are ok but not mandatory. BR, FH & DBB are also ok.
• Arête has a circumflex on the e.
