How high do climbers get?

Ctrl + drag to tilt into 3D

Expedition records for 74 peaks, averaged per peak: the colour around each summit is how far up its climbers typically get, painted straight onto real 3D terrain.

Comparison view — the left pane is QGIS's own rendering of this project, pre-drawn to map tiles; the right pane is the live export. The panes share one camera, fenced to the pre-rendered area; the left stays flat, exactly as the QGIS canvas would, so with the relief tilted the summits lean toward you only on the right.

Replicate this export

Open the QGIS project download in QGIS 3.44 or newer, choose Web → QGIS2WebMap by NIKA → Create web map, and set the options below — the basemap and relief live in the dialog, not the project file. Everything not listed stays at its default.

Plugin version
0.1.3 or newer — earlier versions have no relief option

Run these yourself

The project download is a small zip with the .qgz, its data and a README with each map’s dialog settings. Open it in QGIS 3.44 or newer and export it through Web → QGIS2WebMap by NIKA — you get the same file that is on stage. The maps fetch basemap tiles at view time; the sharing guide explains what an export contains.
