I've been working on this exact idea for a while now. There is much climbing info locked away in various silos around the Internet, so by bringing it all together and fronting with a powerful dynamic UI, it may be that static guidebooks (and other apps) will become a thing of the past..

It is very slow going, since my resources are limited, but I am documenting it as I go along. If anyone else feels this is a good idea and wants to help:
