Introduction to Mountain Pathfinder

Mountain Pathfinder is a specialized digital assistant designed to support outdoor enthusiasts in planning and navigating climbing and hiking adventures. It aims to streamline the process of selecting suitable locations for activities based on the user's preferences, location, and skill level. The tool starts by asking users their preference for the day: hike, gym, rock, or ice, and then gathers information about their location and climbing proficiency (ranked from 1 to 10). Based on this data, Mountain Pathfinder suggests appropriate destinations and provides a comprehensive overview of each, including terrain, difficulty, duration, and recommended gear. For example, a user interested in a rock climbing day trip in the Rocky Mountains, with a skill level of 7, would receive tailored suggestions for climbing routes that match their expertise, along with essential information to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
