SwissClimb is a comprehensive application for iPhone and Android of sport climbing spots in Switzerland. It covers an amazing number of more than 600 climbing spots. For each climbing spot, you can find the following features:
- how many routes for each climbing grade (single/multipitch)
- location (on map) using Google Maps and SwissTopo maps
- current weather condition as well as a forecast for the next three days
- approach time
- type of rock
- altitude
- kids friendly
- rain free
- links to where you can get the full topos of the climbing place and direct access to online topos (if publicly available)
What you can do with it
You can use it to choose the perfect climbing spot for your level and desires. Use the integrated weather information to filter only the sunny places, and find the exact spot using the integrated SwissTopo maps! And when you find your perfect place, you can use your smartphone to bring you there. SwissClimb supports multiple climbing grade systems: French, UIAA, USA.
What you can’t do with it
SwissClimb doesn’t contain information on single routes, therefore you will always need a climbing guidebook (topo) for that, except for the cases where the topos are online. SwissClimb contains links to the books or to the online resources for each crag.
