1.2
September 5, 2026
New mountain ranges — Switchback now covers peaks nationwide, from Alaska's Denali to California's Sierra Nevada and Cascade Range to summits across the Appalachians — nearly 350 new peaks to track, each with its own badge to earn. Wishlist — Bookmark any peak you want to climb someday. Add it from the mountain detail page, a badge, your feed, or a climb — and browse your full list anytime from your Profile. Invite friends to climb — Propose a climb and invite specific friends from the app, or generate a shareable link for anyone — even if they don't have Switchback yet. New: invitees can now say "I'm in" straight from the web link, no app download required, and you'll still get notified the moment they do. Planned Climbs — See every invite you've sent or received, and who's accepted, all in one place on your Profile — no more digging through notifications. Cleaner mountain & badge pages — Log your climb, invite friends, and add to your wishlist, now redesigned into one clear action row.
