This is the best app to track your climbing and boulder sessions automatically. Redpoint gives you detailed overview and feedback on your ascents. Use your Watch or iPhone as a fitness tracker for bouldering and climbing. Contribute your climbing session to closing your daily rings! Workouts are stored in HealthKit and therefore visible in the Health app and Workouts app as well. After each session you will see detailed information about your climbs: the overall height, your heart rate, duration, maximum ascent height, ascending speed, difficulty of routes, and most importantly: Redpoint will give you personalized training suggestions based on that data. How to go from V4 to V5? Or from 5.11b to 5.11c? Redpoint creates a training plan just for you to achieve your next climbing goals. So, how does that work? Thanks to highly advanced machine learning we are able to classify climbing movements right on your Watch. In addition to that we use the built-in barometer to measure the ascended altitude. You can track the difficulty of ascended routes right from the Watch. With Redpoint you can use your Watch for: - Bouldering - Top Rope - Sport Climbing - Trad Climbing - Multi Rope (Alpine) - Free Solo - Aid Climbing - Via Ferrata - Ice Climbing Available Redpoint Membership Subscriptions: There are two options available: Three-months membership and annual membership.
