yeah i thought of this. wouldn't it be great if you could point the video camera and have the routes superimposed? augmented reality style - dynamically updating as you panned around the rock face. data capture would be a big problem - most routes only exist as textual descriptions (even then relative to the one next to it, which is relative to one next to it, etc), or sometimes as a line over a static photo. the routes would have to be 3d lines, so they could be superimposed from whatever direction you were looking from. that makes user contribution tricky too.
