Mountain Project is a website which serves as a guidebook to more than 170,000 climbing routes across the world.[5] The website is operated by Adventure Projects Inc.,[6] a Boulder-based company, founded by Nick Wilder and Andy Laakmann in 2005 and purchased on June 11, 2015 by REI.[1][2] Adventure Projects Inc. has since expanded by creating MTBProject.com a website for mountain bike trail maps, HikingProject.com for hiking trails, PowderProject.com for backcountry skiing trails and TrailRunProject.com for cross-country running trails.
