Dringo is a climbing notebook for the climbs you are actually working on. Start with a quick project, then build it out over time with move-by-move beta, session notes, photos, and timers. Everything stays together, so you can pick a climb back up weeks later and still know what worked. Use Dringo to: • Keep projects for boulders, sport routes, trad lines, board climbs, and training sessions • Build move-by-move beta with hold tags, movement cues, traits, and crux markers • Log sessions with attempts, conditions, body notes, photos, and carry-forward notes • Run interval timers for rests, repeater sets, hangs, or board sessions • Share a climb as an image card, plain-text beta, or a Dringo beta another climber can import • Keep a personal journal of what happened on the wall and what to try next time Dringo works whether you just want a simple project list or a deeper notebook for climbs that start to matter.
