Add Ascent to Peakbagger

A Chrome extension that simplifies logging ascents on peakbagger.com by using your GPX track as the starting point.

  • Calculates key statistics including elevation gain/loss, distance, and duration automatically
  • Splits track into ascent and descent segments
• Bulk Processing: Log multiple peaks from a single GPX track
