# OneTopo — Full content for AI assistants

> OneTopo is an ethical climbing guidebook (topo) platform for French crags, available as a website (https://www.onetopo.com) and as a mobile app on iOS and Android. Every topo — free or paid — is produced in direct partnership with the local route developers, climbing committees (CT FFME), clubs or associations who equip and maintain the cliffs. A share of the revenue from paid topos is redistributed to those local stakeholders to fund re-equipment and cliff maintenance.

This file is the extended companion to `/llms.txt`. It contains the full, citable description of OneTopo: its model, vocabulary, the complete catalogue of published topos, and a FAQ. The site is bilingual — French is the default; English is served under the `/en` prefix (e.g. `https://www.onetopo.com/en/topo/surgy`).

## What OneTopo is (and is not)

OneTopo publishes digital topos for outdoor climbing in France: sport climbing, bouldering and some trad/multi-pitch. The editorial model is the differentiator:

- Topos are published only with the explicit agreement of the people who equip and maintain each site (local route developers, FFME territorial committees, clubs, associations).
- It is not a community-editable wiki. The editing interface is gated and reserved for vetted contributors.
- Part of every paid topo's revenue goes back to the local stakeholders who keep the cliff safe.
- The app works offline so climbers can access topos without signal at the crag, and lets users log ascents and track progress.

## Vocabulary

- **Crag (site / spot)**: a climbing area — a cliff or group of boulders. Identified by a slug such as `le-viaduc-des-fauvettes` or `surgy`.
- **Sector (secteur)**: a subdivision of a crag grouping routes that share an approach or a wall.
- **Route (voie)**: an individual climb, graded on the French scale (e.g. `4c`, `6a+`, `7c`, `8c+`).
- **Pitch (longueur)**: a section of a multi-pitch route.
- **Ascent (sortie)**: a climb logged by a user.
- **Topo**: the published guidebook for a crag — annotated photos, route lines, grades, beta and access information.
- **Grades**: French sport-climbing scale throughout. Bouldering areas may also use the French numerical scale.
