When contributing images of climbs to Bouldr, there are a few general guidelines that can help make your contributions better able to convey the route:

1. Take the image of the bare rock-face only - try to ensure that there is no-one climbing the route or problem when you take the picture, otherwise, the climbers body will obscure the face, and your image may lack essential detail.
2. Take the image when there is ample lighting on the face of the rock. This is not always possible if the route involves a large overhang, roof or resides in a cave, but if the sun is behind the rock, then silhouetting and glare may reduce the level of detail available.
3. Make sure the image is of an appropriate size, and frames the area you are interested in well. Images where the actual route is minute compared to the width of the picture won’t be very easy to annotate.
4. Ensure you have permission to add the image to Bouldr. Uploading copyrighted images will cause them to be removed at best. At worst, legal wrangling may follow (ugh!). Check our terms and conditions for more information regarding the legality of all this.
