Stōkt is the app for spray wall climbing — at the gym or on your own wall. Browse community problems, set your own, log sends, and track your training. There are more than 2000 walls on Stōkt, and we're always adding more. If you don't see yours, send us a message and we'll get in touch with your gym. HOW IT WORKS Select your gym wall and get started. Climb problems from your community, or put your setting to the test and create new ones. To set a problem, select the holds, hit publish, and it's ready for others. Check the accuracy of your grading against the setter and the crowd. We support Hueco, Font, and DanKyu. Or add your own wall: take a photo, Stōkt scans the holds, and you can start setting and climbing for free. HOME WALLS Stōkt is built for training at home too. Set up your wall in minutes with automatic wall scan — take a photo and Stōkt detects the holds. Edit, move, or add holds whenever you want. Invite friends to set problems for you and keep sessions interesting. You can start free and upgrade when you need more. COMMUNITY Connect with friends and climbers from your gym and see who can send your problems. Search for and follow other climbers to grow your network. Add comments to share beta, tips, or just cheer people on. Get notified when someone likes or comments on your problem. PERFORMANCE & TRAINING Log climbs and attempts to see how you're progressing. Take on fresh problems to push your climbing. Use detailed charts and stats to get a clear view of your training. MORE FEATURES Follow climbers and see activity from your gym in the feed. Create public or private lists — warm-ups, projects, or a style you want to work on. Tag problems (crimpy, slopey, pinchy) and filter by style to find the next climb. STŌKT PRO Stōkt Pro is the gym subscription that enhances your experience: Create official gym lists and add up to 4 extra admin accounts. Benchmarking: Create benchmarks or tag existing climbs so climbers have clear goals. Gym analytics: See how your wall is used — climbs created, sends, active climbers, and trends over time. Competitions: Run competitions from gym lists. Adjustable walls: Support for adjustable-angle walls (coming soon). LEDS Light up any spray wall with the Stōkt LED kit. The kit works on home walls and gym walls. We supply LED strips, available now in the EU and UK, and coming soon elsewhere.

**Turn every board session into a head-to-head challenge. Battle Boards lets you compete with climbers on Kilter and Tension boards, wherever and whenever you each climb.** Post a public challenge, invite a friend, or find an open match that fits your board. Choose your angle and grade range, then climb the same problem under the same rules. Each player gets a focused ten-minute turn, so you can compete without needing to be at the same gym—or even climb at the same time. ### CLIMB YOUR WAY • Play ranked matches when you want the result to count • Keep it relaxed with casual challenges • Challenge a friend directly or take on the wider community • Filter open matches by board, angle, mode, and more • Set your preferred grade range, wall angle, and supported board setup ### SEE EVERY MOVE Follow the selected climb on a clear, interactive board view. Pinch to zoom and pan for a closer look at every hold. On compatible Aurora-powered setups, connect over Bluetooth and light the problem on the physical board. ### BUILD YOUR BOARD RATING Ranked results shape a separate seasonal Elo rating for each board, helping you measure progress where you actually climb. Compare your standing across All Boards, Kilter, and Tension leaderboards—or see how you stack up within your friends list. ### KNOW YOUR CLIMBING Go beyond wins and losses with performance stats for sends, attempts, flashes, matches, and more. Explore board-specific results, revisit your match history, and review climbs from completed battles. ### CLIMB TOGETHER, EVEN APART Find friends by handle, share your profile, send direct casual challenges, and track your head-to-head record. Match and friend notifications help you know when it is your turn without keeping both climbers on the same schedule. ### EARN THE PROOF Unlock trophies as you play and build a Trophy Case that highlights your accomplishments. Your public profile brings together your boards, ratings, friends, trophies, and recent matches in one place. Whether you are chasing the leaderboard, settling a friendly rivalry, or looking for extra motivation during a solo session, Battle Boards makes every problem a competition worth sending. Battle Boards currently supports compatible Kilter Board and Tension Board setups. Access to supported climbing-board hardware and an internet connection are required for gameplay. Bluetooth lighting requires a compatible Aurora-powered setup. Always climb within your ability and follow your gym's rules and the board manufacturer's safety guidance. Kilter Board, Tension Board, and Aurora are trademarks of their respective owners. Battle Boards is not affiliated with or endorsed by those owners.
