About ClimbSync: Climb with Friends
See which of your friends are climbing this week, and join in. No need to organize everything in a separate group chat. 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. CHAT WITH YOUR SESSION Keep messages, replies and last-minute questions with the session they belong to. Choose which chats send you notifications. 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.
What’s new
Version 1.2.0 · Updated October 14, 2026
Add a session to your calendar. Open it, tap Add to calendar, and your time at the gym goes straight into your phone's calendar in the right time zone. ClimbSync now speaks Dutch and Danish. Discover has new gyms in Belgium, the Netherlands, Czechia, France and Italy, next to Austria, Switzerland and Slovakia. Also new: • Gym photos on Discover: swipe through a gym's photos in the list and on the map. • Session albums show a strip of photos and everyone who was there. • A clearer map: a flag for each country when zoomed out, then clusters, then gym logos. Picking your home area uses the same map. • Joining a session suggests a time that fits around your other plans that day. • Dates are written the way your language writes them. • Rescanning a keytag keeps its name and colour. • Faster screens and smoother scrolling. • Lots of fixes and polish.
