First of all, who are you? (Your name will suffice)

What subclub are these points going to?

When was this sweet outdoor adventure?

And finally, in what epic quest did you partake?
First, is it already in the database? If not, select "new trip".

How many laps/repetitions/etc?

How many people participated?

About the points calculations:

Points are based on the number of vertical feet gained or lost on a certain trip. Depending on the sport pursued, the number of feet will have different point values, as described below:

Hiking:

Add up the total vertical traversed on the hike. Divide by three if you're doing trailwork; divide by four if it's a regular hiking trip. This is your point value!

Climbing:

This is probably the most complicated. You get a different multiplier depending on how hard the climb is:

5.0-5.5 --> x1
5.6-5.7 --> x2
5.8-5.9 --> x3
5.10 -----> x4
5.11 -----> x5
5.12 -----> x6
5.13 -----> x7
5.14 -----> x8

If you're climbing trad, add one to your multiplier.

Kayaking:

Multiply the vertical feet of your run by five, regardless of difficulty.

Mountain Biking:

We're working on a system of points for mountan biking, but for now, add up the total vertical feet you ride, and multiply by 3/4 (0.75). We'll see how that works...
