[DBBuilder] Support other datasources

UKClimbing.com seems to be the biggest database of crags for the UK (but also seems to have data for all over the world). Maybe we can support this?

  • Would require a separate .csproj for parsing UKClimbing.com
  • Would require code to merge both databases (MountainProject & UKClimbing) to search both at once

UKClimbing.com has no public API. Here is a scraper I've found on GitHub: https://github.com/hcooper/ukclimbing-logbook (PHP)

The hard thing about this is that there isn't a clear "starting point" page (at least that I've found so far. The closest I've found is this: https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/map/

Also there is RedRiverClimbing.com which exclusively has routes from Red River Gorge
