Level up your
climbing

Can I use the app if my gym doesn't subscribe?

You can download the app, but for the gym to have a profile we require them to pay a subscription and maintain their routes. Logging is therefore only available at gyms who have subscribed. If your gym is not on the list, we'd always welcome them to join — here is a link you can forward to the managers.

Is the app free?

Yes, the app is free to download. We also offer an optional PRO subscription for advanced analysis tools.

Do you do training plans?

We do not position ourselves as an authority on coaching. Some coaches do use our app to recommend routes and manage/track their students' progress — usually with a private Crew between the coach and athlete.

Is the app just for comps?

No. While we have a powerful events platform and you may encounter Griptonite for the first time at a comp, the app is primarily used for finding routes, logging climbs, and tracking your long-term progression.

Who updates the routes?

Routes are updated in real-time by your gym's professional routesetting team using our management tools.

Do I have to scan the tags?

Scanning is the fastest way, but it's optional. You can also tick off from the comfort of a sofa using the interactive gym map.

Can I update after I climb?

Yes, the map makes it simple to log your session and tick off routes after you've finished — all while off the mats.

How does countback work?

Ties are resolved in the following hierarchical order:

Total Tops — The climber with the most tops overall wins.

Total Zones — If tops are tied, the climber with the most zones (intermediate holds) wins.

Attempts to Top — If both have the same number of tops and zones, the climber who needed fewer attempts to secure their tops wins.

Attempts to Zone — If they are still tied, the climber who needed fewer attempts to reach the zones wins.

In a comp where there are no zones or no extra points awarded for a Flash (top on the first attempt), ties are broken based on the number of attempts. If two climbers remain tied after countback, they will be reported as tied in the results table.

How do I tick during a comp?

Special thanks to one of our customers CAMP5 for putting together this excellent competitor briefing video that covers how to climb during a competition safely as well as how to use the app.
