About

Climbr is a utility that allows users to visualize and highlight their climbing strengths, weaknesses, and trends. From professionals to beginners, trad climbers to indoor boulderers, users can log climbing sessions from a selection of templates and instantly view their trends, patterns, and statistics with pre-configured Kibana dashboards.

In addition, Climbr provides booking insights on local gyms (Altitude Kanata, Altitude Gatineau, Coyote Rock Gym), to help users find the most optimal climbing time according to location, time of day, and time of week. Climbers can utilize this information to make socially responsible decisions. Those looking to minimize their risk whilst still staying active can easily find the off-peak hours of their local gym.
