request: add date field for first ascent on route pages

Thanks for restoring the feature that shows which new routes added to the database are first ascents on the what's new page. I feel like it would be even more useful long term to just have a separate date field(month and year) next to the first ascensionist info so the date info can be indexed and searched (and filtered) separately.

Also would be sweet if we could filter the what's new page by route type (filter out the new bouldering problems for example).

Thanks Nick for your hard work.

I second all these suggestions. 

Filtering type on the what's new is my #1 feature request. 

1 year bump to request these features again. I think having a date field for when a route had it's first ascent is going to be come more and more important as we try to figure out how old the thousands of slowly decaying plated steel bolts are.

Side note, I know the site has new ownership. Is there any active development still going on on MP or is it just keeping the lights on at this point (which I imagine is not that easy)?

I think they just keeping the light on. Haven't seen much either better or worse in last year, which I guess is good.

The ads are getting bigger.

Where do you see ads outside the front page? I never go to front page so don't remember any ads in some time. 

*1 for filtering boulder problems from routes

+1 for FA dates

Big ones on the route pages. 

2 year bump...

It would be really nice if we could sort and filter the "What's New" pages.
This feature has already existed for years with to-do lists:

Perhaps the code for this could be recycled and used on the What's New page too?
