Case Study: Rock Climbing Association for Development improves safe route-finding in Lebanon with what3words

3 words to go rock climbing in Lebanon

The Rock Climbing Association for Development has been building climbing routes in a rural village on Mount Lebanon as part of a sports development project, but finding those routes was difficult because of busy roads, no street addresses, Arabic signage, and even the risk of landmines off trail. The association needed a safer, clearer way to share route locations for climbers and builders, and turned to what3words for help.

what3words provided a simple location-sharing solution that allowed main route-builders to communicate exact working locations and helped map climbing sectors for topos on the association’s website. The result was safer route-finding and easier access for climbers, supporting the project’s goal of boosting rural tourism and local economic growth in the village.
