ClimbSync: Climb with Friends

Outdoor sessions are in: plan a crag trip like a gym session, and sort the carpool and the rack in the same place.

See which of your friends are climbing this week, and join in. No group chat, no organizing, no "you free Thursday?"

Climbing with friends usually comes down to whoever's willing to organize it. Someone starts a chat, asks who's free, waits for replies, tries to pin down a time. More often than not it fizzles out before anyone commits.

ClimbSync isn't about what you climbed. It's about who you're climbing with, and actually making sessions happen.

SEE WHO'S CLIMBING The app shows you who's climbing and when, right now and in the days ahead. If something lines up, you join and show up. Nobody has to organize.

SHARE THAT YOU'RE GOING Heading to the gym? Add your session, or just mark that you're going. Your friends see it, and that's the whole ask. You choose who sees each session, and it's friends-only by default.

PLAN THE SESSIONS THAT MATTER Some sessions you want locked in. Put up a few nights, or a few gyms, and everyone votes on the one that works. Sort out who's driving and who's bringing which rope, so the crag day comes together in the app instead of across four chats.

EVERY GYM, ALREADY IN HERE Every climbing gym in Austria is in the app. Set a radius around home and see every wall in reach, whether you're travelling or you just need somewhere that's still open tonight. Each one comes with opening hours, prices, what they set and how they grade it, so you know what you're walking into.

RETIRE THE KEYRING Keep your gym passes in the app and tap in at the desk, so the plastic tags can stay home.

STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE WIDER CREW You swap numbers with someone at the gym, say you should climb again, and never do, because texting a near-stranger is more than either of you wants. Their sessions show up here anyway.

BUILT FOR SHOWING UP No feed, no algorithm. Open it, and it should be done with you in a few seconds so you can go climb.

Made in Vienna by a climber who got tired of good sessions never coming together. It's still early, and it gets a bit better every week.
