Rock climbing is a highly information-dependent sport—route difficulty at crags, road conditions, weather, and even "beta" (climbing technique tips) can determine the success or failure of a climb. Traditional climbing guides are usually static printed materials that cannot be updated in real time nor dynamically recommend based on the traveler's actual location and itinerary.
The D-Tours project was born from an epic rock climbing road trip from Austin to Squamish. The developers wanted to create a "co-pilot"-style AI companion that not only provides static information but also proactively recommends climbing destinations along the way based on real-time location, records journey moments, and sends reminders at critical times.
The uniqueness of this project lies in that it is not just a website or an app, but a complete system consisting of three complementary components: an elegant showcase website for visitors, an AI messaging companion with proactive push notifications, and an easy-to-manage CMS backend.
Section 04
The visitor website is built using the Astro framework, with a design philosophy deeply influenced by premium websites like Montoya and Manifesto, emphasizing visual storytelling and immersion:

Shotgun is the intelligent core of the system, an always-on AI assistant that stays connected with travelers through multiple channels:
Section 06
The CMS uses the same tech stack as the visitor website, supporting management of the entire system from a mobile phone or laptop:

The project uses a modern web tech stack, balancing development efficiency and operational performance:
