About

ClimbShade tells you whether your climbing area will be baking in the sun or tucked in cool shade — and whether the conditions are actually good enough to climb. SHADE MAP See real terrain shadow simulation on an interactive map. Scrub through any hour of the day to watch shadows move across the crag in real time. No more guessing whether that south-facing wall is climbable at 2pm in July. SEND CONDITIONS ClimbShade combines temperature, humidity, wind, and recent rainfall with your rock type's friction profile to give you a simple green / amber / red conditions score. Granite on a crisp morning? Green. Sandstone after rain? Red. Know before you drive an hour to the crag. WEATHER FORECAST Hourly forecasts show temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation for the next 7 days — all in a glanceable chart designed for climbers, not meteorologists. FIND AREAS Search thousands of climbing areas and routes powered by OpenBeta, the open-source climbing database. Tap any area to see its shade window, conditions score, and full weather breakdown. YOUR LOCATION ClimbShade uses your GPS to surface nearby climbing areas automatically, so you always know what's climbable right now, right where you are. WORKS FOR ALL CONDITIONS Whether you're chasing shade in the summer heat or hunting for sun on a cold winter day, ClimbShade helps you pick the right climbing area at the right time. ClimbShade is built for climbers who want to spend less time guessing and more time on rock.

What's New in ClimbShade

1.2.8

August 3, 2026

We rebuilt ClimbShade's shade engine from scratch — replacing a third-party SDK with a custom shadow engine that's faster, more accurate, and works reliably on iOS. Also included: sharper shade at popular crags, a new time scrubber to watch shade move through the day, more reliable maps, and a fix for Navigate occasionally showing the wrong approach distance/time.
