### 5/5 — Great tracker + Feature Request

*2025-12-30*

Nice way to track gear usage for the Type A person. 

Feature request: links to Mtn Project ticks so that you don’t have to manually update climbs on each piece of gear

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review, and glad the app is working for you. I'm looking into MountainProject integration, would make things simpler!
