About Onsightful
Transforming your climbing data into actionable insights
Our Mission
Every climber deserves to understand their climbing journey. We're on a mission to transform raw climbing Mountain Project data into meaningful insights that help climbers progress, train smarter, and achieve their goals through data-driven analysis.
What We Do
Onsightful turns your Mountain Project tick data into visualizations and actionable insights. We provide the tools to:
Track Your Progress
Visualize your climbing journey over time
Identify Patterns
Discover your strengths, weaknesses, and optimal training zones through comprehensive performance metrics
Optimize Training
Make data-driven decisions about your outdoor climbing and training approach
Celebrate Achievements
See your peak performances, hardest sends, and climbing milestones
How - Our Approach
Pulling Mountain Project Data
We value Mountain Project as do many climbers do, yet we wanted to dive deeper into the data. Mountain Project does not allow scraping of their website, however users are allowed to download their tick data! Simply go to https://www.mountainproject.com/user/[enter your user id here]/[enter your username here]/ticks and click 'Export CSV'. This is how Onsightful is able to pull your Mountain Project tick data.
Note: We will not compete with Mountain Project, we provide completely different value. Mountain Project will be your log book and crag guide, Onsightful will be your insights. Our hope is that we grow stronger together.
Data Processing
Our sophisticated grade normalization engine handles the messiest real-world data:
- YDS, V-Scale, French, and mixed grading systems
- Safety ratings: Complex formats with safety ratings (PG, R, X) are normalized for better visualization. 5.10b R will transform into 5.10b. This will inherently lose some nuance, however it will provide a better visualization experience to not clutter your screen with all the potential variations.
- Grade ranges: Some grades are mixed, such as 5.10a/b. Onsightful gives you the bump to the highest grade listed, 5.10a/b transforms into 5.10b.
- Historical data from years of climbing
Comprehensive Analytics
We go beyond simple statistics to provide meaningful insights:
- Performance Pyramids: Visual representation of your sends vs attempts by grade
- Send Rate Analysis: Understanding your success patterns across different grades
- Volume Metrics: Track your climbing frequency and identify peak performance periods
- Efficiency Tracking: Measure improvement in redpoint vs onsight performance
Our Values
Data Accuracy
We prioritize accurate grade parsing and data processing. Our multi-layer validation ensures your analytics reflect your actual climbing performance.
Continuous Improvement
Climbing evolves, and so do we. We aim to listen to the users and add new relevant features, and improve our platform based on user feedback and climbing community needs.
