THE STORY
Built by climbers, for climbers.
Most climbing-gym directories are recycled scrape jobs — half-dead links, missing cities, no idea which gym closed last year. We got tired of it.
So we started with a single question: where can a climber actually go this evening? Then we built the data to answer it. We pulled in every gym we could find from public sources, merged the duplicates, and handed it to the climbers who know better. Every new gym is read by a person before it goes live.
Today the directory covers more than 2,300 indoor climbing gyms across 84 countries. For 32 of them you can see how busy the wall is, refreshed every few minutes from the gym's own feed. That's the number we're working hardest to grow.
WHAT WE SHIP
Six things we do well.
02
Map-first discovery
A worldwide MapLibre map with city / country filtering. Find a gym in seconds.
03
Per-city pages
Climbing in a city you don't know? One page per city: every wall we know of, what each one offers, and live crowd levels where the gym publishes them.
04
Community submissions
Spot a missing gym? Submit it. A person reads every submission before it goes live.
05
Honest gear guides
Nobody pays for a spot on the list. We research the gear and tell you why we'd pick it. We haven't tested it hands-on, and we won't pretend otherwise.
06 — LIVE NOW
How busy, right now
Live crowd levels for 32 gyms and counting, polled from their own feeds every few minutes. Reviews are open too. Leave one for your local.
