ClimbingNote+ vs Climbing Journal

Log every climb in seconds, then use your data to see what is improving. ClimbingNote+ is a focused climbing log for bouldering, top-rope, lead and trad climbing. Record sessions at the gym or crag, track every attempt and send, and review your progress without creating an account or joining a social feed. FAST CLIMBING LOG • Start a gym or outdoor session quickly • Record boulder problems, top-rope climbs and lead routes • Mark each climb as an attempt or send • Add grades, tags and session duration • Reuse tags for movement, wall angle, hold type or route color GRADES THAT MATCH WHERE YOU CLIMB • Bouldering: V Scale, Fontainebleau and Japanese Dankyu • Roped climbing: YDS, French, UIAA and Ewbank • Trad climbing: British Trad and supported roped grade systems • Choose personal defaults for bouldering, roped and trad climbing • Override the grade system for an individual gym or crag • Create reusable custom bouldering scales for gyms using colors, numbers or names • Keep the original recorded grade while viewing approximate equivalents INSIGHTS YOU CAN USE • See a meaningful progress highlight on the home screen, even before you add tags • Analyze sends, attempts and send rates by tag, location or grade • Filter by time period, gym or crag, climbing style, grade and tag • Compare recent periods to see what is improving • Find the tags or grades with the most unsent climbs • Review monthly, yearly and all-time activity • See climbing volume and hardest completed grades GYMS, CRAGS AND ROUTES • Save the gyms and crags you visit • Optionally use your location to identify and sort nearby places • Create outdoor boulder, sport and trad routes • Link logged climbs to saved outdoor routes YOUR LOG, YOUR DATA • Your climbing log is stored in a local database on your device • No account is required • Core logging and history work offline • Export a portable JSON backup • Import a backup and merge newer records safely • Optional usage analytics can be disabled in Settings ClimbingNote+ is built for climbers who want a quiet, structured logbook with useful insights and control over their own data. Grade conversions are approximate. Area, gym, route style and individual experience can change how a grade feels. British Trad grades also describe seriousness and protection.

Climbing Journal is a private climbing journal and bouldering tracker with climbing grades, project planning, progress analytics, and structured hangboard training. CLIMBING JOURNAL AND BOULDERING TRACKER Use a fast climbing tracker during a live session or add a past day. Log attempts, sends, flashes, onsights, grades, wall angle, holds, movement style, exertion, confidence, falls, notes, and selected media references. Every session produces a useful summary with send rate, grade distribution, volume, movement styles, project progress, and personal records. CLIMBING GRADES AND GRADE PYRAMID Compare V Scale and Fontainebleau bouldering grades, plus French Sport, Yosemite Decimal, UIAA, Ewbank, and British route systems. Conversions are clearly marked as approximate because climbing grades are subjective. Build a living grade pyramid from sends, attempts, flashes, and onsights. Explore hardest send, average grade, volume, success rate, style profile, hold profile, consistency, and indoor-versus-outdoor progress without reducing improvement to one number. PROJECT MODE Track a boulder or route across sessions, including attempts, high points, completed sections, confidence, fear, crux notes, rest strategy, send conditions, and final reflection. The visual Beta Sequence editor maps hands, feet, holds, movement, difficulty, and success move by move. HANGBOARD TRAINING Run Max Hangs, Repeaters, Density Hangs, Recruitment Pulls, low-intensity introductory hangs, and custom workouts. The accurate full-screen timer includes prepare, hang, rest, and set-rest phases with audio and haptic cues, history, effort tracking, and post-session pain checks. CLIMBING TRAINING PLANNER Create an editable weekly plan for technique, volume, limit bouldering, projects, endurance, route mileage, hangboard workouts, antagonist strength, mobility, and recovery. Conservative rules prioritize normal climbing and technique for newer climbers and stop training suggestions when pain is reported. CLIMBING GYM, CRAG, AND WALL LOG Organize every climbing gym, crag, sector, wall, and training board. Attach sessions and projects to saved locations and review location-specific visits, hardest sends, styles, and active projects without depending on an external location database. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account is required. Your climbing journal works offline and is stored on device. Private iCloud sync, Health workout export, location capture, reminders, and data export are optional and requested only when used. Climbing Journal has no advertising SDK and no cross-app tracking. Climbing Journal Pro unlocks full historical analytics, unlimited projects, the complete climbing profile, all hangboard training protocols, the climbing training planner, private iCloud sync, widgets, complete exports, and advanced project analytics. Existing data remains readable if Pro expires. Hangboard training carries risk. Stop if you experience pain and seek advice from a qualified professional. Research summaries describe trained study populations and do not guarantee individual results.
