There's a similar problem with websites which map rock climbing routes. Some make their data open to some extent, but not in a way that can be meaningfully contributed back to OSM. Even though they all use OSM data (usually via Mapbox), to generate their maps, and allow users to draw and annotate layers on top of it.

I'm very interested in working towards an open tooling and open data ecosystem for rock climbing information, but I don't know where to get started on finding others to build it with.

There may be one already, I haven't checked.
