At the very minimum, this is the definition of a complete mountain page (and the general idea transfers to routes, areas, and canyons as well):
There is an overview telling us something about the peak, preferably what makes it worth climbing.
There are good enough directions so that with the page and a good map, the user can get to the mountain without needing any other resource.
There is route information telling about length, difficulty, and elevation gain. There should be details about exposure, rock quality, tricky or dangerous spots, etc. as appropriate. If the route information is not on the main page, it is on an attached route page.
There is at least a primary image (an amazing number lack one or any pictures at all).
There should be information on camping and red tape, even if just to tell us that there is no camping or red tape.

The problem is that i don't take pictures, just crappy ones with my cellphone (Rich, check my FB that's the quality i go for lol)
Since not having pictures of the route/mountain it is just impossible to create a page which is up to the standards of SP.
I think the standard is too high to create pages. I rather have a bit of info on a mountain than no info at all.
Been talking about this with mvs a few months ago. For non-english speaking people or people who ain't journalists it became impossible to write a page which is up to the standards. That standard is so high i'm not even bothered to try. How do new members get involved in a site like SP, or why would they try to write a page if the standard is too high to accomplish ..
