Description, Motivation & Context
This PR is part of a larger effort to add support for rock climbing related features to iD. In this PR we add a preset for a climbing "area", which is understood to be a grouping of distinct crags that in the immediate vicinity of each other. Often an area will be delimited by a climbing guide book, where the OSM area will correspond to the area covered by the book. This might seem arbitrary, but never the less it matches closely with how climbers think about and use climbing related geodata in practice. Climbing areas are currently in active use by data consumers, e.g. openclimbing.org.
Climbing areas can be equipped with additional fields, in addition to a name. Usually this would be tags representing summary statistics for the routes and crags contained within the area. I've consciously decided to leave such fields out of this PR, since in practice all this information can be computed from the member objects. If it is decided at a later point that we want to encourage such tagging, we can always expand the preset then.
I've set up a Wikibase entry and a corresponding article for climbing areas, which can be found here:
