About this app

KAYA is your ultimate climbing guide—built by climbers, for climbers. Use KAYA to discover new climbs, watch beta videos, log your sends, and track your progress over time. Whether you're projecting your hardest grade or exploring a new area, KAYA helps you climb smarter with GPS maps, offline topos, and real-time updates from trusted guidebook authors. Connect with friends, share your beta, and celebrate every send with the most psyched community in climbing.

-Guide-
All the data, beta, and resources in one place. KAYA PRO makes outdoor climbing more accessible and convenient than ever before with verified GPS coordinates, interactive topos, and detailed climb descriptions. Official KAYA Guides are available for classic areas like Bishop, Joe’s Valley, and more — all available offline for when the service gets rough.

- Track Progress -
With thousands of gyms and climbing areas in our database, KAYA offers a superior logging experience. Videos, ascents, comments, and star ratings are all available within each climb page. If you’ve kept a logbook with another app or website in the past, you can easily upload it into KAYA through your profile page.

- Connect -
KAYA is community-focused. You’ll be notified when your buddy breaks into a new grade so you can leave ‘em a fist-bump and a comment. In-app messenger allows you to connect with other climbers, and, if your gym is on KAYA, receive new set notifications when the routesetting team finishes slinging the freshies.

- Compete -
KAYA challenges are one of the best ways to stay motivated and interact competitively with the climbing community. Go up against the world’s best or compete with your friends at your local competition.

It doesn’t stop there. We are always making changes and improvements to KAYA. Keep your updates turned on so you won’t miss a thing.

So much potential but so incredibly frustrating. I love the concept of the app. But there's a few serious things that need to be fixed. Mainly, you can't edit or delete climbs you've added. I've accidentally created a number of climbs under the wrong crag name, and there's no way of correcting it! Inevitably, this app will fill up with garbage climbs and make usability impossible.

Nice idea, and some features work well. However, it's hard to use as a logbook. It's more like a climber's Facebook or something. Not for me. It's bloody impossible to just explore sets in gyms you've added (adding new gyms isn't easy either). You can only see the gym if you want to log a climbing session. Annoying. Personally I hate the feed; if you like a social media thing then you might like it. I just want a logbook for my sessions!

I like the app overall, makes logging climbs easier, however tapping on boulders isn't very accurate (on the map when you see the colour's). Logging attempts, perceived difficulty could be more intuitive (scrolling option without having to tap anywhere first?) But the most annoying thing is that videos randomly reset to the start for no reason. That seriously needs to be looked at!
