## What is Shanke?

Every meter you climb adds up to your next summit.

Shanke turns your iPhone into a beautiful hiking altimeter. Read your altitude on a live dial, record every climb, and watch your lifetime ascent carry you up the world's great mountains, from Snowdon to Everest and beyond.

LIVE ALTIMETER
• Altitude from GPS and the barometer, with its accuracy shown
• Air pressure, oxygen level and the boiling point at your height
• Sunrise and sunset for where you stand, plus a turnaround reminder so you head down with daylight to spare
• Mountain scenery that follows the time of day

RECORD EVERY CLIMB
• Ascent, descent, high point and trip time
• Keeps recording with your screen locked, with live progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
• Pause and resume whenever you rest
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Import trips from GPX files

WORLD PEAK QUEST
• Your lifetime ascent climbs a ladder of famous mountains
• Earn a stamp for every summit you pass, collected in your stamp book and calendar
• Set a monthly goal and see how many trips your next peak will take at your pace

RELIVE YOUR TRIPS
• Route maps and elevation profiles that move together as you scrub
• Terrain contours and a 3D replay that flies along your route

SHARE THE SUMMIT
• Story and post cards designed for every trip
• Story videos of your climb
• Hide where you started and finished with one switch

MOUNTAIN TOOLS, OFFLINE
• Compass with bearing lock
• Backtrack to your starting point or a spot you marked
• Your coordinates and an emergency message ready to share
• Slope meter, flashlight with SOS signal, and a pressure trend for changing weather

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account needed. Your trips, location and photos stay on your iPhone.

Available in 16 languages.

Some features require a Shanke Pro subscription, including terrain and 3D replay, story videos and your full trip history.

Shanke is a companion for your time outdoors, not a navigation, aviation, surveying or rescue device. Carry proper equipment and check conditions before you go.
