Live the pro climber's life — one project at a time. Climb Sim drops you into a pro boulderer's career. Start at your local boulders. End up on the world's hardest sandstone, hunting Amandla, Esperanza, and The Story of Two Worlds. Every week is a decision: project, train, travel, rest — or push it and risk a finger. REAL CRAGS, REAL CLIMBS Magic Wood, Fontainebleau, Hueco Tanks, Rocklands. The lines are real. La Marie Rose to The Big Island. Riverbed to The Story of Two Worlds. Slashface to Esperanza. Pringles to Amandla. V0 to V17 — climb the whole ladder. A WEEK-BY-WEEK CAREER Manage four stats: Power, Endurance, Technique, Mental. Train smart at the Strength Gym, grind the Moonboard, or get on real rock. Energy and fatigue are real — push too hard and you'll tweak a pulley, blow an A2, or pop a shoulder. Recovery takes weeks, and your sponsors are watching. PROJECT. SEND. REPEAT. Pick a line. Read the beta. Try it. Fall. Try it again. Send it and the magazines come calling. String together enough sends and the sponsor offers start landing — weekly income, gear deals, and a viral video or two if you're lucky. FROM ROOKIE TO LEGEND Climb the reputation ladder from unknown gym rat to Living Legend. Unlock new destinations as your name spreads. Save up for the trip. Pack the crashpads. Send your project. Or get shut down and come back stronger next season. Built for climbers, by a climber. No microtransactions. No timers. Just you, the rock, and a long career to write.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Climbing Sim at none against Pixel Pro Baseball's 9. Climbing Sim also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Pixel Pro Baseball's advantage is chart position (#150 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
