TENAR

Features
Read full description

TENAR is a climbing progress app for self-coached climbers who want their logbook, projects, workouts, and coaching context to work together. Log routes and boulders with grades, ascent type, attempts, stars, notes, and photos. Keep ascents organized by crag, sector, date, discipline, and grade system, then review trends from the climbing you actually record. Plan your trips and specifically train for your outdoor trips. Save the climbs you are working on, track attempts and notes, and keep outdoor goals connected to crag, sector, and route context. Record hangboard, edge lifts, strength, mobility, board climbing, routes, and other climbing sessions. Use timers and saved workout templates for repeatable sessions, then review training load, time under tension, RPE, history, and progress over time. Search climbing areas, crags, sectors, routes, and boulders. View route details, grades, style, safety notes, and community activity. Eligible paid plans can save supported crag guidebooks for offline access. Follow other climbers, see a focused climbing feed, like ascents, view profiles, and compare recent rankings across friends, country, and world scopes. TENAR includes optional Pro and Premium subscriptions. Pro unlocks unlimited saved projects, offline crag downloads, unlimited saved workout templates, and monthly training recap access. Premium includes everything in Pro plus AI Coach conversations. AI Coach guidance is informational and based on the climbing and training data available in your account. It is not medical advice. Use your own judgment, climb safely, and consult a qualified professional for injury, medical, or rehabilitation questions.
