Climber Map shows you the wall you're standing in front of. Crags are drawn where they actually are — outlines surveyed on site, with every route as a point on the rock. Zoom in and the names and grades appear. Tap a climb for photos with the line drawn on it, its grade and length, and how to walk in. WHAT YOU GET • Wall outlines and route locations surveyed in the field • Photos of the rock with the route line drawn on it • Approach notes, parking, and trails on the map • Grade, discipline, and length on every route • Search across every climb and crag that forgives typos • Filter by type and grade, with a live count of what matches • Bookmark routes so you can find them again • Log ascents and see how much traffic a route gets • Your own position, on the crag map BUILT FOR THE CLIFF Download a destination once and its map and route data live on your phone. No service at the trailhead is fine — the map still draws and search still works. Your bookmarks and logbook sync when you're back in signal. CURRENTLY COVERING Rumney, New Hampshire — more than 790 sport and trad routes across 50+ crags, from the Meadows to the Main Cliff. This is a young app with one destination surveyed so far, and more on the way. The routes in it are ours: measured on the ground, not copied out of another database. An account is required so your bookmarks and logbook follow you between devices. You can delete it, and everything attached to it, from inside the app.
