## What is First Bolt?

First Bolt will enable you to easily approach and know your way around the crag or boulder, find routes and get the most relevant and up to date information about them.

- Have you ever wandered around a crag for hours, looking for the approach path?
- Have you ever started climbing a route only to discover it is not what you thought it is and ended up leaving your gear on it?
- Were you ever surprised by nesting birds or loose holds while climbing?

First Bolt will help you avoid all that. This app will help you climb safely, save time with no hustle.

Key features:
- Just take a picture of the route and see it's grade immediately, no more mixing up routes. 
- Full approach on the map for quick and safe navigation to the crag.
- Sort routes by difficulty, star ranking and more.

Currently the app is only available for selected sites in Israel. Join our community and let's make the climbing world a little bit safer.
