ClimbLogger turns every climb into data you'll actually use — from the gym to the crag, on your iPhone, Apple Watch or Garmin. Log routes as you climb, track elevation and heart rate, explore a map of gyms and crags, train your fingers, and share it all to Strava. LOG EVERY CLIMB - Start a session and log routes as you go — grade, style, ascent style, route name and time. - Automatic elevation tracking turns your climbs into real vertical metres. - Edit anything afterwards — grades, names, styles, start time, notes — and your stats update live. - Scan route names straight off the gym board with your camera. - Six grading systems: French, Norwegian, YDS, UIAA, Font and V-Scale. FIND PLACES TO CLIMB - A map of indoor gyms and outdoor crags with sectors, routes and GPS. - Topographic, satellite, greyscale and OpenStreetMap layers, plus high-resolution 1 m 3D terrain. - Live search, filters (gym / crag / favourites) and directions to the rock. - Street-view crag photos, topoguides and full route lists. - Add your own crags and gyms, mark favourites, and suggest fixes to the community. APPLE WATCH - Track a climbing session straight from your wrist. - Records grades, routes, elevation, time and heart rate through a real workout session. - Log and edit routes on the watch, with optional automatic climb detection. - Mirrors your session live to iPhone and keeps running in the background. GARMIN WATCH - A dedicated Connect IQ app for Fenix, Epix, tactix and more. - Log routes from your watch and pick your grade scale right on the wrist — Norwegian, French, YDS, UIAA, Font or V-Scale. - Captures heart rate and elevation for every route. - Sessions sync automatically to your iPhone — and on to Strava. Set it up once from the app. FINGER-STRENGTH TRAINING (beta) - Connect a Bluetooth weight scale and train your fingers with live load feedback. - Built-in protocols — max strength, repeaters and endurance — plus a custom workout builder. - Calibrate per hand, grip and edge depth; every rep is measured against your max. - Big pull/rest timers with voice and haptic cues, and every workout saved to your diary. SHARE TO STRAVA - One tap turns a session into a Strava activity — grades, ascent styles, elevation, heart rate and a route-by-route breakdown. - A generated session infographic is attached automatically, ready to share. YOUR DIARY & STATS - Every session in one place: routes, elevation, time, photos, heart-rate graphs and notes. - Lifetime totals and grade distribution across all your climbing. Available in English and Norwegian. Some advanced features require ClimbLogger Premium.
