About B-Layer
B-Layer helps climbers find climbing partners. Stop scrolling five different gym WhatsApp groups. B-Layer connects you with compatible climbers across gyms and crags near you — people you'd never otherwise meet. HOW IT WORKS • Build a climbing profile — disciplines (lead, sport, bouldering), grade range, gear, preferred gyms and crags, and when you like to climb. • Post a session request — "looking for a partner, Monday 20:00 at the wall" — or browse climbers in a simple deck. • Match — express interest, or respond to someone's request. When it's mutual, you're connected. • Coordinate in a private 1-on-1 chat, meet up, and climb. • After a session, rate your partner and help keep the community trustworthy. BUILT FOR SAFETY B-Layer is adults-only (18+). You can block or report anyone, and delete your account and all your data from inside the app at any time. IMPORTANT: Climbing is inherently dangerous — you climb at your own risk. B-Layer does not verify skill, certification, or identity. Always assess your partner and your own safety before and during a session. B-Layer is starting in Israel. More cities to come.
What’s new
Version 1.0.5 · Updated October 10, 2026
New: Walls — a page for every gym and crag. • Climbers Rated: post a photo of a wall, draw each route in its own colour, and give it a grade and a note. • Tap "I sent it" on a route and say how the grade felt — then see what most climbers think. • Challenges: see who else sent a route, and find a partner to try it with. • This month: each gym's board of who sent the most rated routes. Don't want to appear? Hide your name in Account. • Reviews, likes and comments — and tag a climber with @ to bring them in. Also in this version: • If your profile can't load, the screen explains what to do and lets you sign out. • Switching between light and dark mode no longer sends you back to the first tab. • Signing out clears Belayer's notifications from your phone. • Fixes for large text sizes. Climb together. Climb better.
