The Griptonite app is a perfect companion to your climbing life. Discover what's important to you. Be it beta, routes, or inspiration. Our community ticks thousands of routes every day and we enable you to learn from their experience. Everyone loves to get better, and seeing gains is a crucial part of staying motivated. In climbing, it's often hard to pin these down and so progression tends to plateau. The app helps you drill into the areas you can improve at your own pace. Got a competitive or curious side. Or, just want to smash your own PB? The app has both global and venue linked rankings that are fully filterable to help you in your quest.
