Read full descriptionHide full description
One climbing logbook for every send — bouldering and roped, indoors and out, at any gym or crag. Log the climb, pick the grade in the system you know, and watch your pyramid climb. Then let AI turn your sessions into a training plan. No feed to scroll, no gym you have to belong to — just your record, your grades, and your progress. Everything is private and on-device, working offline whether the gym has signal or the crag has none. Switch gyms, travel, or move outside for the season and your logbook comes with you. No account, nothing to sync before you log a climb. LOG EVERY SEND IN SECONDS • Record boulders and roped routes: name, grade, attempts, and outcome — flash, send, or project • Tag each climb with wall angle (slab, vertical, overhang, roof) and style (crimps, slopers, pockets, pinches, dynos, heel/toe hooks, compression, and more) • Log indoor gym or outdoor crag sessions with area names, session length, and a self-rated fatigue score • Pin outdoor sessions to a location so you remember where that project lives • Unlimited sessions and sends — always free EVERY GRADE SYSTEM, CONVERTED LIVE • Bouldering: V-scale and Fontainebleau (Font) • Routes: YDS, French, and UIAA • Log in whatever system you think in and read your history in whatever you prefer — every climb converts instantly, from VB up to V17 and 5.5 up to 5.15d SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Home dashboard with total sessions, sends, and your hardest boulder and route • Send pyramid for boulders and routes — watch it fill in and shift up • Flash rate, angle breakdown, and volume-by-week trends • Spot the grade where you stall PROJECTING BOARD A project is a hard climb you work across many sessions. Track it properly: • Log every attempt session with your high point and notes • Keep beta — moves, sequences, rest positions • Follow the whole attempt history from first touch to the send TRAINING TIMERS Structured protocols with built-in work/rest timers — hangboard repeaters, max hangs, campus ladders, limit boulders, ARC endurance, and mobility. AI TRAINING PLAN (PRO) Generate a personalized multi-week plan built from the last few weeks of your own log — the grades you attempted, the angles and styles you climbed, and how tired you felt. Grounded in your real sessions, not a generic template. AI WEAKNESS ANALYSIS (PRO) Tap analyze for a short, concrete read on the patterns in your log — angle bias, style gaps, flash rate — with specific drills to close them. It reads your own data to find the gap you can't see. FREE VS PRO Free includes unlimited logging, live grade conversion, indoor and outdoor sessions, your send pyramid, one project, and the starter timer. Pro unlocks: • AI training plan built from your own log • AI weakness analysis • Unlimited projecting board • Full analytics — angle breakdown and weekly volume • The complete training-protocol library • Export your entire log as CSV • No ads Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription. Restore anytime; prices shown before you buy. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ Rock Climbing Logbook is a personal logbook and training aid. It is NOT instruction and NOT a substitute for a qualified instructor, guide, or proper safety training. Climbing is inherently dangerous and can result in serious injury or death — this app does not make it safer. You are responsible for your own safety, equipment checks, and partner checks. The timers, AI plan, and weakness analysis cover fitness and skill progression only — never belay, anchor, rope, or outdoor-hazard advice. For anything related to safety, consult a certified instructor.
