Climbly is a simple, fast logbook for climbers. Log a climb in a few taps at the gym or the crag, and watch your projects, sends and grades come together over the season. LOG A CLIMB IN SECONDS Pick the location, the route and how it went. Climbly remembers your last gym, so after the first climb it's mostly one tap for the ascent. Big, clear buttons work even with chalky fingers. EVERY ASCENT, THE WAY CLIMBERS COUNT THEM Onsight, flash, redpoint, repeat or attempt, on lead, top rope or a boulder. Climbly only offers what's actually possible: once a route is sent, the next clean go is a repeat, and onsight and flash only count on the first try. FOLLOW YOUR PROJECTS Every route keeps a timeline of your goes. See how many tries a project took, how many days it was from the first go to the send, and the date you finally clipped the chains. YOUR SESSIONS AT A GLANCE Climbs from the same day and place are grouped into a session, with the number of routes and sends. Swipe a climb to log another go on the same route, edit it or delete it. STATS THAT MEAN SOMETHING • Grade pyramid of your sends, for the year or all time • Hardest send and number of climbs and sends • Climbs per month, with your sends highlighted • How much you lead compared to top rope Each route counts once, at its first send, so repeats don't inflate your pyramid. ALL YOUR GYMS AND CRAGS Keep your gyms and crags apart, each with its own routes and boulders. Gym routes get the color of their holds; outdoor routes show single or multi-pitch. Every location shows its number of routes and grade range. THE GRADE SYSTEM YOU USE UIAA, French, YDS, Australian (Ewbank) and UK for routes; Hueco (V) and Font for boulders. Choose the grade system for each location and set your default once. PRIVATE AND IN SYNC Your logbook is stored on your device and synced through your own iCloud account to your other iPhones. No account, no sign-up, no ads. CLIMBLY PRO Climbly is free for one location. A one-time purchase of Climbly PRO unlocks unlimited locations. Questions or ideas?
