Leave a Review Rockfax Climbing Guidebooks
Just like the books!
Excellent resource for planning climbing trips! The membership is completely worth how much climbing area information you get access to. Additionally, more is always being added. Keep up the great work!khkhkhkhkhkh
Love it!
This app is a must have for every climber, every book you need in your pocket, I’ve used it in the UK and abroad, it’s accurate, easy to use and definitely a necessity in my opinion, well worth the moneyCDICKJONES
Useful app, unfortunately very unstable
Really useful app. Navigation is easy, route information is as good as the books, ability to log your routes and find them again easily is great. Unfortunately it regularly crashes - scroll up to 3 pages and every time will need to restart the app and re navigate to where you were. All of my friends that use the app have the same problem. Such a shame.Show lesstfsdfuuooutfhj

Apologies for this. The crash appeared with the last OS. We're working on a fix which we hope to have out this week.Used to be great but now crashes regularly
Used this app for a while and find it really beneficial when out and about (especially the GPS feature). However in recent months it repeatedly crashes, making it unusable :( hope this will be resolved in future updateSeg1311

Thanks for your review. We do have content covering many climbing areas in Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Norway. In fact around 45% of our coverage is for areas outside the UK. If there is a particular area you are interested in then please contact us and let us know.IOS version
I've used the Rockfax app since it started and impressed with the loyalty payment I still pay. Not many companies keep the price the same for those that joined early. The app is impressive. I've used all over the UK and abroad. The topos are clear and at the usual Rockfax standard. Parking and map detail is great too. If logging a climb is important with you the ability to do that is easy. Guess only issue is adoption of this sort of system. I wouldn't normally carry my phone on a climb. So this works brilliantly for me on single pitch climbs. I still take photos of multi pitch route descriptions with a proper camera as that is nearly always with me. But that's a personal opinion.Show lessLakesPlatty
This really works!
I’ve been climbing 30 years so am very experienced with using book-style guide books. But now I’ve tried the Rockfax App and used it to visit a new crag and revisit one I’ve not been to for years I will wholeheartedly recommend it. Such a time saver.pix_climber
Awesome guidebooks - now in an app
Rockfax guides are amazing, they were the first guidebook outfit (that I’m aware of) that respected people’s desire to arrive at an unfamiliar crag and quickly & easily identify lines.
This allowed me to spend my weekends climbing rather than trying to interpret long prose from uninspiring books which required I first find a route 5 meters to the left of mine, and before that, another route next to a holly bush that no longer exists.
Their photo topos and maps are excellent and the geolocate / crag finder feature get me climbing quicker. I love being able to log my climbs at the crag and sync them to the UKC database.Show lessEltham_John
Love this app
This app is great and has been keeping me inspired throughout the look down. But even if you have the app it is still so nice to have the wonderful glossy and detailed guide books produced by these guys. They are in my opinion priceless! Many thanks RockFaxTekto-Nic
Fantastic way to pack light at the crag
I love an old dog-eared guidebook as much as the next person, but it’s convenient to have everything in your pocket and to have the ability to link to UKC logbook in there too, has really revolutionised keeping track of my climbing. I find it a bit clunky and slow if you use the app for a long amount of time but that may just be my phone. Not to mention it’s an absolute bargain considering you’re getting all the Rockfax guides in one place!Show lessdiggory26
