Gamify your climbing with Pebble! Pebble helps you improve your climbing by giving you a grade pyramid to complete each week. Finish the pyramid and move up a level. If you don't, you'll get 2 more tries before you drop back down a level. Each level is tailored to your abilities and helps direct you to climbs that are appropriate for you. In addition to the gamification, Pebble offers these other features: • Follow your friends in the FEED to see their sends and media or your gym to see when a new area has been reset or if any events are happening soon. • Find climbs for your next trip in the OUTDOOR GUIDEBOOK or give back by adding climbs that you've sent to the guidebook through the app in a wiki-style. • Track your nightly sessions at the local CLIMBING GYM if they've joined Pebble or even if they haven't. • Find climbing-specific WORKOUTS & CIRCUITS that other users have created to do specifically at your gym, your local crag, or at home. • Get RECOMMENDATIONS based on your current climbing ability and what climbs you need to send to reach the next grade. • ANALYZE your climbing and training using our charts to see your progress and plan your next sessions. • SCHEDULE workouts and sessions and track your successful completion automatically.

Every gym wall hides countless climbs — variations and whole problems improvised, then forgotten. Turn any wall into a living library: create, find, and track community-crafted problems. Any style, any grade — stem, mantle, smear — not just sandbagged crimp ladders. Snap a photo, mark the holds, and share the fun. CREATE Photograph any wall, mark the holds on your route, name it, add a V-grade, and tag the style if you want — dynos, mantles, stems, heel hooks, and more. If you can imagine it, you can immortalize it. DISCOVER Browse your gym's routes as a carousel or on the gym map. Filter by grade, wall angle, hold-types, body bias, movement style, crux height and more. Find exactly the climb you're in the mood for. TRACK Log attempts, sends, and flashes in a couple of taps. Color-coded badges show what you haven't tried, what you're projecting, and what you've sent. See your grade breakdown for today or all time, and how many climbers have tried, sent, or flashed any route. SHARE Leave encouragement, props, or beta in the comments, build circuits and project lists, and browse public lists from other climbers at your gym. AddOn is available at select gyms in the Seattle area, with more being added all the time. Want AddOn at your gym? Request it at addonclimbing.com.
