CapyClimb — your member key to our climbing gym in Nakano, Tokyo. Buy a pass, walk up, and open the door from your phone. The CapyClimb app is how members get in, grab a locker, and track their training — built around a gym that prioritizes movement over noise. ABOUT THE GYM A sanctuary for climbers dedicated to the art of movement. Premium system boards, a spray wall with community-set problems, specialty coffee, sauna recovery, and coworking space. Three system boards, 150+ route sets, and a community of dedicated climbers — no loud music, no distractions. WHAT THE APP DOES • Open the gym door with one tap — your phone and your active pass are your key. • Rent a locker the same way: one tap to claim, open, and return it. • Buy day passes and monthly memberships right in the app. Students, seniors, and adaptive climbers get a reduced rate. • See how busy the gym is before you head over, straight from the Home screen. • Track your climbing: visit history, most-visited gym, weekly frequency, and your current training streak. • Spray wall: browse community-set problems, log your sends, rate them, and add your own. • Claim gift passes from partner businesses via link or in-app QR scan. • Sign in with Apple, LINE, or email. Delete your account anytime from Settings — no email back-and-forth. GETTING A PASS Day passes and memberships are sold right in the app (and at the front desk). Once a pass is on your account, the app handles the rest — validity, credit tracking, and door entry. Memberships renew monthly and can be cancelled with the staff or via support@capyclimb.com. PRIVACY & SECURITY We collect only what's needed to give you safe access to the gym and your purchased passes. Door access uses short-lived, server-verified commands — nothing to screenshot, nothing to lose. Full policy at https://capyclimb.com/privacy. SUPPORT Email support@capyclimb.com or visit https://capyclimb.com/support — we typically reply within one business day, Japan time. CapyClimb is operated by TheCapybaraCompany — Tokyo, Japan. 3-25-1 Nakano, Tokyo 164-0001.
