About ClimbShade: Climbing Forecast
Know before you drive. ClimbShade shows whether your climbing area will be in sun or shade, whether the rock will be good, and whether wildfire smoke will spoil the day. Built for sending season: crisp mornings, cold shade, warm sun walls and smoky afternoons. Pick the right wall at the right time. SUN & SHADE MAP Real terrain shadow simulation on an interactive map. Scrub through the day and watch shade move across the wall. Chase shade in summer heat or sun on cold winter mornings. SEND CONDITIONS Temperature, humidity, wind and recent rain, combined with your rock type's friction profile, become a simple green / amber / red score. Granite on a crisp morning? Green. Sandstone after rain? Red. AIR QUALITY Hourly Air Quality Index during daylight, color-coded by EPA category. Your climbing recommendation accounts for smoke, so you'll know when to stay home. 7-DAY CLIMBING FORECAST Hourly temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation and AQI in a glanceable chart made for climbers. THOUSANDS OF AREAS & ROUTES Search areas and routes from OpenBeta, the open-source climbing database. Filter by grade for boulder, sport and trad, with V-Scale, YDS and French grades. APPROACH NAVIGATION Trail-following approach routes from the right trailhead and parking, with elevation-aware time estimates. WORKS OFFLINE Download areas by state. Saved areas, routes, maps and approaches work without signal. Less guessing, more time on rock.
