How are star ratings calculated? 
Star ratings are an average of all votes. Enjoyment and perceived difficulty can differ from person to person, so the rating system is designed to give you a general sense of the communities’ overall opinion. You can see the breakdown of individual ratings by clicking stars. If you are signed into your account, you can add your vote by scrolling to the “You & This Route” section.
How is a climb's difficulty determined?
A route's difficulty is the median rating (not the average) of people's votes. Perceived difficulty can differ from person to person, so the rating system is designed to give you a general sense of the communities’ overall opinion. You can see the breakdown of individual ratings by clicking the stars and looking under Suggested Ratings. The rating can change over time as more data is entered. After climbing a route, be sure to add your opinion by signing into your account and scrolling to the “You & This Route” section.
What is a tick and how do I add one?
Ticks help you keep track of what you've climbed. Your profile page will shows several charts breaking down your climbing activity and even has a map of everywhere you've climbed!
How can I add or remove a to-do from my to-do list?
You can add a route to your to-do list by clicking the "Add To-Do" button on any route page. To-dos will show up on your personal profile and are a great way to keep track of routes that you'd like to climb. If you would like to remove a to-do, head to back to the route page and click the "On Your List" button to remove it.
