Draw a topo or write info, send it to the guidebook author(s) to the area. If there is no guidebook, consider the American Alpine Journal (depending on the caliber of the climb) or writing your own.

Normally someone writing a guidebook will try to get the information. Truth is, it usually isn't that hard, if you ask local climbers at the area, or the local shops who climbs there and who develops there. I think lots of times too the person writing the guide has done lots of FAs themselves, and tend to know the area and other climbers putting up routes.

Write your own guidebook for the area.
