Get a Grip: 4-Finger Climbing

Completely free, no ads, and playable offline. Every route, rival and mountain pitch is included, and you don't need an internet connection to play. The only purchase is an optional cosmetic character.

Put four fingers on the screen: two for your hands, two for your feet. Slide a finger toward a hold and that limb reaches for it. Lift it and the limb lets go. Climbing has never felt this close to the real thing on a phone.

Climb like a climber. Every move is real body physics. Keep three points of contact, get your feet up before you reach, shake out when your forearms pump, and chalk up when your grip gets greasy. Hang off your arms too long and you'll peel off.

Race your rivals. Gus owns the gym, and he wants to see what you've got. Beat Charlie, the gym's hotshot, then Johnny, the fastest climber in the place. Their see-through ghosts climb beside you, reading moves, pumping out and shaking off just like you. Beat them all and Gus comes out to race you himself.

Real routes. Eight colour-coded gym routes from 5.7 to 5.12a: jugs, crimps, slopers, pinches and pockets on an overhanging wall. Three puzzle routes (Sphinx, Rubik and Labyrinth) where finding the sequence is the challenge, and three extreme routes up to 5.14a (Black Hole, Event Horizon and Singularity). Every route is proven climbable with the same body you climb with.

Then the mountain. Beat Gus and head outdoors: eight pitches and about 87 metres of slab, crack, flake and a roof crack up to the summit headwall. Climb it roped, saving at every ledge, or free solo it in one run with no rope at all.

Then the Big Wall. One continuous 284-metre rock face that zigzags from easy jugs to seriously hard moves, with no ledges and no rope. One fall ends the run. Climb as high as you can and see where you rank on the height leaderboards.

Race yourself. Your best climb comes back as a ghost to chase. Earn three stars by topping out without a fall.

A note from the developer

This is the first game I've ever published. I've put a lot of time, thought, and care into creating it, and I'm genuinely proud of how it turned out.

More than anything, I want people to enjoy playing it, which is why I've decided to make it completely free.

If you'd like to support this project, I've included an additional character you can unlock for $1.99. This character offers absolutely no gameplay advantages or special privileges. All you get is a wacky outfit and my heartfelt gratitude.

Whether you choose to support the project or simply enjoy the game, I'm glad you're here.

Game on!
