Hi all,
Is there a way to see how many valid attempts you’ve made on the climb portal?
Usually, I ride up and down the climb and head back the way I came after leaving the portal. However today I noticed a blue bar graph charting climb portal route progress which was barely 25% full after leaving the Madone. It took a lap and a bit of the volcano circuit to fill it… so now I’m wondering how many trips up big lumps have counted.
Also a few rides have been in workout modes, so you don’t see the route bar at all.
Anyone knows how it’s credited @shooj … any ideas?
Here’s hoping it’s when the climb summit arch is reached or when you exit the portal back to the world.
As far as I am aware there is nothing which specifically counts your Climb Portal ascents.
However as you are registered with ZwiftPower you can use the ‘Activities’ section on ZwiftPower to search all rides by name.
As long as you use a consistent ride naming system the search facility will help you find only those rides containing the search words. If you generally leave the ride name as provided by Zwift you will have all your Climb Portal rides saved as Climb Portal ………
You can change your ride name to add a constantly increasing number after the appropriate search words to identify how many you have completed.
If however you have gone to the Climb Portal via another ride method say Pacer Group (which you did on 13th Dec & possibly 27th December ) you need to go back to those activities on ZCA and change ride name to start/include Climb Portal.(and then update the activity list)
If you rode the Climb Portal more than once in a ride (13th December) you need to identify that within the name, say using Climb Portal 6-10 to signify the 5 rides you did which took you to your 10 Climb Portal Pro badge.
Writing this and reading it probably takes longer than actually implementing a good ride naming system. Let’s just hope we don’t lose this useful ZwiftPower search facility in the future.
I think you have probably done 16 Climb Portal completions but you might find others.
I on the other hand am not so keen on climbing (or the graphics) and have only done one plus a short test first.
For the climbing portal, I would like to see this dealt with much more prominently. Perhaps an extra menu item when selecting the trip, or a list of the climbs with PRs behind them where you can see the awards achieved?
In any case, I’m always looking for a wolf when I want to know whether I’ve already ridden the active mountain or not. I find that very cumbersome and annoying, there must be better solutions
In agreement with Philipp here. Would be awesome to have a separate area to view climbing portal completions and PRs etc. Would be cool to be able to see all of them in one list vs combing through activities and manually keeping track. Really been enjoying the climbing portal lately and now desiring a bit more track-ability!
This was posted on Facebook recently. Whenever I see something like this, I think oh boy this is a missing feature and it’s amazing how much work people will do to get what they need.
