## What is BoulderUp?

Take the popular 9c Strength Test to measure, train and improve your climbing! The app calculates your bodyweight percentages, adds up your points, and gives you your rating in the V-scale and Fontainebleau grades. 

The test, developed by Stian Christopherson and Martin Mobråten, informally correlates selected strength measures with climbing grade levels. Because experience and technique greatly affect actual achieved grades, the 9c Test is most useful for setting a baseline data point for climbing strength training, and thereafter as a way to track individual training gains. Use with the included HangTimer™ for solo tests.

The test has four parts, each worth a maximum of 10 points each, for a total possible score of 40 points. The 4 parts are:
•	5-Second Hang from a 20mm Edge with Added Weight
•	One-Rep Pull-up with Added Weight
•	Bent-Knee L-Sit, Straight-Leg L-Sit, Front Lever
•	Bar Hang

Use the exercises in the 9c test to check your progress and up-grade your climbing level!

Hang Timer™
The HangTimer™ makes it easy to time your edge-hangs and bar hangs. It lets you select your countdown time and then gives you competition-style 3-2-1-0 warning beeps. Allows counts of up to 10 minutes.

V-Tally™
The included V-Tally app is an easy way to note your daily sends.

### 2/5 — Nice! But

*2023-02-05*

Doesn’t show the weight on the 9c area. Some selections are off the screen, and overlapping weirdly. potential, but please fix display issues!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! Working on getting the layout corrected for all devices/sizes.
