Discussion: Graphical statistics

Graphical statistics

I am an avid Strava user and there are some external tools that show yearly progression (e.g. Statshunters or Strava Toolbox), so that you can compare if you are on track to surpass your yearly kilometer record, or elevation gain record, etc.

It would be great if theCrag would implement a similar functionality, where you can graph ascents, pitches, elevation, grades etc. per month and year. I would be interested, for example, to see if I have climbed more pitches in this running year than during the same period last year. Stuff like that.

Is anything like that planned or does it already exist somewhere?

IMHO the CPR graph gives you a quite good indication. You see:

• your CPR, an indication for your performance
• bars for the amount of ascents
• maximum onsight and red point

With hovering over it you get more information and by clicking you see all relevant ascents and can be sorted by all time CPR.

Maybe export as a csv file and filter in excel?

I use the CPR graphs for tracking progress, but I agree it would be cool to have some graphs for like pitches/routes/elevation climbed. I personally am tracking number of routes climbed in a spreadsheet.

If only the website code was open source. There are so many query features I’d love to add.

Thank you for the good ideas. Yes, I could export as CSV and then filter, but it would be much more efficient if these functionalities were available directly on the website, instead of everybody doing their own thing. CPR is pretty powerful, but much more could be done.

My wish would be to filter the date range used in the bar chart of grades. After a long layoff it would be nice to see the recent “pyramid” rather than the lifetime one.

would love it if you opened the API for noncommercial use! Then we could make our own statistics apps 🙂

Beakerboy The code is not open source but the web has an API (you have to ask for access tho) so if anybody is willing to develop a web-app that queries TheCrag to generate some plots, they should contact Support theCrag

The current documentation says:

THE API IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR NON-COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS.

https://www.thecrag.com/en/article/api#access

exactly. in my understanding this means that they would only consider giving people access if they wanted to develop commercial apps (which i certainly don't)

Another good use case could be managing of temporary crag closures through warnings.

Lots of crags have yearly recurring temporary closures due to bird nesting, e.g. beginning of year till July.

For the record, there is also a feature request on Github: https://github.com/theCrag/website/issues/3889
