How high can you climb? Free Climb is easy to pick up: tap a hold, move a hand, climb a little higher. But reaching the top takes a plan. Big holds are easy to grip. Small ones tire you out fast — and if your energy runs out before the top, down you go. Pick your path, pace yourself, and keep climbing. Try to keep one hand on the wall, lest you fall. Every wall is brand new, made fresh just for you — and every wall is guaranteed to have a path to the top. Finding it is the fun part. EASY TO LEARN, TOUGH TO MASTER A quick, friendly tutorial teaches you everything you need. The first levels are a breezy warm-up; the later ones will make you think about every single move. Feeling bold? Leap for a faraway hold — catch it and it's glorious, miss it and you're falling. COLLECT THE GOODIES Every wall is sprinkled with treats worth a little detour: snack bars that refill your energy, a chalk bag that keeps your grip from slipping, carabiners worth points, and an extra life if you can reach it. Grab every goodie on the wall and finish the climb to double your points. UNLOCK NEW PLACES Your points add up with every climb you finish, unlocking harder levels and whole new places to explore. Start out at the Climbing Gym, then earn your way to Joshua Tree — a sunny desert of red rock with taller walls and bigger rewards. More places are on the way. READY to start your ASCENT TO NEW HEIGHTS?
