Climb more. Explore local. CragLocal is a climbing guidebook built and maintained by the people who actually climb there. Instead of one global database of thin, outdated entries, every region gets its own chapter, a local guide with real approach notes, sector breakdowns, access updates and the services around the crag. BROWSE REAL LOCAL GUIDES Work down from chapter to crag to sector to route. Every crag lists its grade range, number of routes and sectors, wall height, approach time, aspect and features like beach, cafe or restaurant access — so you can pick the right wall for the conditions instead of guessing. FIND YOUR WAY THERE Interactive maps show crags, parking and approaches, plus a community map of local guides, gear rental, accommodation and transport recommended by the chapter itself. LOG YOUR ASCENTS Tick routes as you send them, add a rating and propose a grade if you disagree with the book. Your personal dashboard builds a grade pyramid from your logs, keeps your full climbing history and maps every crag you've visited. STAY CURRENT Chapter news carries access changes, closures, rebolting work and local events straight from the people managing the area. Chapter chat puts you in touch with climbers on the ground. CURRENT CHAPTERS Hvar, Croatia — limestone sport climbing on a sun-drenched Adriatic island, including Vela Stiniva (124 routes, 5a–9a, 8 sectors) and Popinjenica. More chapters are opening — get in touch if you'd like to bring your region onto CragLocal. FOR TOURISM BOARDS AND CLIMBING ORGANISATIONS Chapter operators manage their own crags, routes, news and local services directly in the app, so the guide reflects reality rather than the last print run. Built for climbers, powered by locals.
