I know this has kicked around for a while but thought I'd stick it here so we don't lose it (see the old wave too)

Basically an extension to the karma system

I think one principal of this system is to be a bit unexpected and funny so it is a genuine treat when they get it, rather than something they actively work towards. It should also be shared so if someone gets an award then their friends get shown (FB etc?)

```
> 1st route ticked at each grade band = '?'

> 2 attempts as a single route = '?'
> 2 attempts at a single boulder = 'Worker'
> n attempts at a single route = 'Siege Machine'

> 2 ticks of a single route = '?'
> n ticks of a m routes = 'Serial ascender'

> 1 ticks in 1 country = 'Tourist'
> n ticks in m countries = 'Internationalist'

> n 'home nodes' = 'Wanderer'

> n new routes

> n new areas = 'Trail blazer'

> n new FA's (might need to fix FA vs tick impedance mismatch first)

> n locate = 'Cartographer'

> n topos = 'Topographer'

> n photos = 'Photographer'
> n photos of other people = 'Paparazzi'

> n updates to a crag

> n friends
