App Update

You can now browse a crag's sectors and routes in PeakVisor, check grades and lengths, and read route descriptions alongside the map. Where available, photos and approach notes help you decide what to climb before you head out. You can explore the routes in the app or on the web, then share the crag with your climbing partner.

At Rocca Sbarua near Turin, for example, you can browse 111 routes across 19 sectors. Of those routes, 98 have written descriptions and 66 have photos. Choose a sector to see its routes, then open one for a closer look.

Choose a route in the app

Open a crag in the app to check the grade range, route count, wall aspect and weather. Browse its photos and description, then tap the routes button to see what you might like to climb.

Routes are grouped by sector. Each sector's summary shows the route count, grade range and aspect, so you can decide which ones to explore. Expand a sector to compare individual routes by grade and length, or search by name to find a climb you already have in mind.

Routes keep their original grading system, with obligatory and aid grades shown where provided. For example, 7b (obl. 6a+) keeps both the free-climbing and obligatory grades visible.

Open a route to see its details and any available photos and description, including approach, pitches and descent. Descriptions from gulliver.it are shown in the original Italian, with a link to the source.

Sources and coverage

Climbing information comes from community mapping in OpenStreetMap and route information from gulliver.it, including photos and descriptions of climbs in Italy and France. Photos carry photographer credits, and descriptions link to the original pages. The amount of detail varies by location; some routes have grades and lengths but no photos or written description.

If you know a crag well, you can help improve its coverage by contributing missing routes, sectors or grades to OpenStreetMap.
