New Kalymnos topo including a free App

The new Kalymnos topo with 448 pages including some 2700 routes is at the printer's. The majority of photos and photo-topos are new, and in addition to the practical information about each crag (shade, exposure, approach etc) little extras, like GPS coordinates to each crag, have been added. The biggest change, however, is that you will also get a code for a free App, that has been created in cooperation with Vertical-Life. Matthias Polig invented the Zlagboard and started Vertical Life almost three years ago with the plan to contact the local topo authors and offer to be their publishing house including a topo App. - Being the local topo producer of the South Tyrol topo I know how much hard work these guys put in and also that they help rebolting etc. At the same time, the locals are threatened by topo companies who just fly in and copy old topos as well as by user generated web topos. We believe that digital publishing has a great future, especially in the outdoor area. Together with locals all over the world, we are creating a global digital climbing guide. The Vertical-Life Climbing app is a comprehensive mobile guide to the best crags, boulders and multipitches. In addition to our own climbing guides, we cooperate with local authors and digitalize their guidebooks.
