Report incorrect route?

How does one report incorrect route information or just plain route that does not exist? There’s a route that someone posted as being a sport route between 2 existing routes at a crag I climbed at recently. It does not exist. It is not in the red river gorge guide book either. There are no bolts nor top anchor, and it’s too much of a smooth slab with zero cracks or crevices for trad gear. There were multiple people coming up looking for that route specifically while I was climbing the route that it is supposedly 10 feet left of. It’s also described as being 20 feet to the right of some crack trad routes that do exist. But there is just no route in that 30 foot span it describes. There is also no evidence there ever was any sport bolts in place previously as we helped the other groups looking for it Investigate it. Zero ticks on the route other than mine so I could add the note that it doesn’t exist for others to be able to see that.

You can edit the text of the route, a moderator will have to approve it. This should get their attention. Ideally the moderators for the area will be locals and go check it out. 


Unfortunately this is not the case for a lot of areas and the moderators are nowhere near by and don’t frequent the area.

Awesome, Ok, but how does one edit the text of the route? I have it open here in my phone and only things I can do with it is add it to to do list, rate it, add a tick, share it. There does not appear to be any functionality to edit the route in any way in the app. Is it an online only functionality?

You have to view it on the website to access those menus, you can do this from your phone. Just head to mountainproject.com
