What problem does it solve?

The Route Researcher automates gathering and synthesizing mountaineering route beta from multiple sources, enabling faster, more reliable planning and decision-making for climbs.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hybrid data orchestration: Python scripts fetch deterministic data (weather, daylight, avalanche, peak statistics) while parallel LLM agents extract beta from PeakBagger, SummitPost, WTA, Mountaineers, and AllTrails.
• Trip report synthesis: Aggregates and analyzes firsthand reports to identify cruxes, hazards, route conditions, and practical gear recommendations.
• Report generation: Produces a comprehensive Markdown route beta report with time estimates, suggested gear, permits, access notes, and current conditions.
• Use Case: When planning a summit like Mount Rainier, you can request a complete beta package that includes route overview, approach details, hazards, and up-to-date weather.
• Use Case: Researching less-documented peaks to surface available beta and highlight data gaps for safe planning.

Quick Start

Install and activate the Route Researcher skill, then issue a peak-specific research request (e.g., "Research Mount Rainier") to generate a route beta report.
